Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Kedon Slovis; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 72 spots ahead at No. 233. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that.
Pick62
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Fair-plus on Payton Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in pick 64, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at pick No. 95 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in the 96th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
They liked McKinnley Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 14. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
The board had Johnny Wilson higher than the 136th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Christian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in the 147th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at No. 216 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at pick 233 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
