Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot, a good 40 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They banked enough surplus on Igbinosun to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the 12th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 20th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
Pick112 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in Round 4, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at pick No. 150, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick177 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Somehow Davison Igbinosun was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They paid sticker price for Fernando Carmona in slot 215, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ahmaad Moses. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick225 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They reached into another round for Eric Gentry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
