Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They banked enough surplus on Delp to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Cowboys indulged a want in Ramsey while a need in wide receiver, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A slide stopped in No. 63, with A.J. Haulcy worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kamari Ramsey while clear needs at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick146 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They reached into another round for Domani Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
You do not let a tight end like Oscar Delp reach pick No. 152 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Good price on Bryce Boettcher in the 177th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in the 218th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
