Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 203 on Bear Alexander a full 55 spots early.

Branch falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Payton Wilson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 20th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
Pick25 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In the 25th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Taurean York
Taurean York at slot 51 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They did well to land Eli Stowers in pick No. 84, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at Round 4, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Chase Bisontis
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 152 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Zachariah Branch
Taking Zachariah Branch in the 160th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bear Alexander in Round 6, Pick 25, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at slot 231 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Foster. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Steal is underselling it; Malik Hartford at pick No. 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
