Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Cade Klubnik in the 92nd pick. Put together, it is a D+.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Golday value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety at fair value.
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 12 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 20th overall pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Hill Jr. at slot 39, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Circle this one: Lee Hunter at pick No. 70 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to pick No. 75, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in No. 87, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at the 92nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They read the board right and Zakee Wheatley was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 7. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason Reiger in pick 112, miles early. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick121 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
They talked themselves into Kaytron Allen at slot 130, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Harold Perkins Jr. at the 135th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
No edge and no loss on Jaeden Roberts in the 152nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 37, with Kevin Coleman Jr. worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
