Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Manning: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Samson Okunlola; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 155 spots ahead at pick No. 177. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

So much rides on Arch Manning that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. That Love pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Arch Manning
A tidy bit of business in slot 9, where Arch Manning graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jeremiyah Love
Steal is underselling it; Jeremiyah Love at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 R Mason Thomas
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, R Mason Thomas in the 109th overall pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick148 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A straight-up fair deal on Lander Barton at No. 148, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola at pick 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in the 214th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the 229th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
