Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Kamran James. He came off 40 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 20 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jack Endries
They let Jack Endries come to them and pounced at the 112th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in the 126th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
A slide stopped in pick 150, with Jalen Stroman worth more than the price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick177 Rnd5 Lander Barton
The board had Lander Barton higher than pick No. 177, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid sticker price for Trey Zuhn III in the 194th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Miller Moss
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Miller Moss in No. 215, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kamran James
They reached into another round for Kamran James, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
