Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The war room fell hard for Trey Zuhn III, and it showed at pick 113: 98 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Keenan III. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 19th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In slot 27 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kevin Concepcion
No drama and no debate, Kevin Concepcion went about where he belonged in the 45th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Taurean York
Taurean York at pick 55 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chase Bisontis in pick No. 102, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
They talked themselves into Trey Zuhn III at No. 113, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Tim Keenan III reach the 159th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at No. 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
They took Robert Spears-Jennings at par in pick 216, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick233 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
A straight-up fair deal on Elliot Washington II at pick No. 233, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
They barely believed it either: Sawyer Robertson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 36. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
