Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Wheatley: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Zakee Wheatley tumbling to the Cowboys in pick No. 112 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Green left real value on the table behind him. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get a three-down second-level presence. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 20th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
They barely believed it either: Treydan Stukes still on the board at pick No. 92. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They robbed the room for Zakee Wheatley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
They paid sticker price for Charles Demmings in pick 152, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They let Tanner Koziol come to them and pounced at the 177th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
