Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Zion Logue at the 233rd overall pick, roughly 57 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Gore Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at the 56th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They jumped the gun on Trey Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
A conviction pick on Nelson Ceaser at pick 134 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in the 163rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at slot 233, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 244 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
