Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 4 slot. The Cowboys jumped the board by 26 and dared it to prove them wrong. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Cowboys indulged a want in Howell while a need in tight end and interior defensive lineman stayed open. However the rest shakes out, Nelson at that price is a win they earned.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In the 12th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
A want over a need in slot 20: Cashius Howell adds an edge rusher while tight end and interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mike Washington Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at pick No. 151 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 178th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Jerry Wilson at pick 215 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
Malachi Nelson in slot 221 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
No drama and no debate, Fernando Carmona went about where he belonged in the 225th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
