Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureA
Larceny in the Round 5 slot lands the Cowboys a B, Rivers and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Chandler Rivers, the No. 97 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 141. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Elliott reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
They did well to land Sonny Styles in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick28 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 28th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A tidy bit of business in No. 59, where D'Angelo Ponds graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
Value with a capital V on Kyle Louis in slot 92, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caden Curry well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sam Roush
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Sam Roush in the 115th pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Chandler Rivers
The board fumbled Chandler Rivers all the way to pick 141, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in pick No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd5 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at slot 180 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cole Payton
The board had Cole Payton higher than Round 6, Pick 25, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Steal is underselling it; Ephesians Prysock at pick 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Patrick Payton
A big swing on Patrick Payton at No. 218, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Terion Stewart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Terion Stewart in pick No. 250. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
