Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Strong should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dorian Strong fell into the 149th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good price on Jihaad Campbell in the 44th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Bond at No. 76, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Taking Dorian Strong in Round 5, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 174 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
