Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jordan Whittington at the 245th overall pick is 26 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. That Clark pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Benson
The board had cheaper options than Trey Benson at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They paid up for Cam Hart at the 124th pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and De'Corian Clark at No. 212 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A wild overpay on Jordan Whittington in No. 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
