Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Every board in the league had Brooks lower, and that gap is the story. Getting Reed where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

So much rides on Tetairoa McMillan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 44th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They let Tyler Shough come to them and pounced at pick No. 149. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ajani Cornelius. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They paid sticker price for Raheim Sanders in Round 5, Pick 36, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylen Reed at slot 204 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
A wild overpay on Ja'Corey Brooks in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson slid further than he should have, and No. 239 is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They went early on Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 247, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
