Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Biles: A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Rasheem Biles slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the Round 4 slot. Highway robbery.

Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jeremiah Smith and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In the 20th pick they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick112 Rnd4 Rasheem Biles
The board fumbled Rasheem Biles all the way to the 112th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 CJ Bailey
CJ Bailey at pick 150 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jayden Bellamy
You do not let a cornerback like Jayden Bellamy reach No. 177 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jackson Bennee
Jackson Bennee at slot 198 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mark Nabou Jr.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mark Nabou Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dorian Thomas
Value said wait; Dorian Thomas in the 225th pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Keyjuan Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keyjuan Brown this early at pick No. 235. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
