Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Moore from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Malachi Moore slides to No. 174, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Lindenberg has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 18 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They took Tyleik Williams at par in pick No. 44, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at No. 76 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 82nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They did well to land Logan Brown in the 149th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Shough at pick 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at Round 5, Pick 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
They barely believed it either: Phil Mafah still on the board at slot 211. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 239 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 247th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
