Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Taaffe should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B-.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Michael Taaffe, the No. 71 name on the board, in the 92nd pick.

Kanak has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick No. 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 20 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at No. 92 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Demmings at pick 152, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in Round 5, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
They paid up for Jeff Caldwell at the 180th pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaren Kanak. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
