Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Scott: B+.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Keionte Scott, the No. 60 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 28 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
They paid sticker price for Kayden McDonald in slot 20, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 28th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Nice patience on Anthony Hill Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 49. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 59th overall pick is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Taking Elijah Sarratt in No. 106 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
The board had Jalon Kilgore higher than pick 112, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Fair-plus on Malik Benson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at the 167th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Anez Cooper
No drama and no debate, Anez Cooper went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 37. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Value with a capital V on Tanner Koziol in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
A straight-up fair deal on Kaelon Black at pick No. 218, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
