Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 213 on Carson Steele a full 58 spots early.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That McClellan pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 1 with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A big swing on Matt Goncalves at slot 87, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick 102 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 125th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylan Ford a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at slot 242 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
