Overall

The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick No. 99 on Drew Allar, a name the board had a full 59 spots lower. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Stowers pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
David Bailey
In pick 3 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick6
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34
Rnd2
Zion Young
They jumped the gun on Zion Young, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 39th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
They let Lee Hunter come to them and pounced at the 65th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in slot 76 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at No. 85 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
They paid a round early for Ja'Kobi Lane in pick 92, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 99th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 104 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They reached a country mile for Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 4, Pick 12, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Zxavian Harris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zxavian Harris. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136
Rnd4
Bishop Fitzgerald
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bishop Fitzgerald at the 136th overall pick is the proof. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
They took Jaeden Roberts at par in No. 150, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the 152nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 172 with a little surplus value in Kevin Coleman Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
