Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Mafah: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cowboys, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Getting Mafah where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In the end it comes back to Ashton Jeanty, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy little value on Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 76, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They took Chris Paul Jr. at par in No. 81, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
The board fumbled Ozzy Trapilo all the way to pick No. 102, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Fair-plus on Nohl Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Good price on Trevor Etienne in the 149th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
You do not let an offensive lineman like Luke Kandra reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Nice patience on Ty Robinson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 174. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in No. 191 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Oronde Gadsden II at slot 204 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They read the board right and KeAndre Lambert-Smith was the payoff at the 211th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jermari Harris in Round 7, Pick 19. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 Shemar James
They paid sticker price for Shemar James in pick 236, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Horsley at slot 239, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Circle this one: Phil Mafah at Round 7, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They let Ja'Corey Brooks come to them and pounced at pick No. 247. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
