Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kingsley Suamataia at Round 1, Pick 24 regardless, 29 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kingsley Suamataia
In slot 24 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A reach for Audric Estime in pick No. 87; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 124th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in No. 174. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Green at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 245 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
