Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Mateer. Grade: B+.

The search is over. The Cowboys handed the keys to John Mateer, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Hill has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Boston at that price is a win they earned.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 John Mateer
In the 17th overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 31st pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at pick No. 45 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
They let Nicholas Singleton come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 17. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at No. 99 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
A big swing on Jyaire Hill at slot 113, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
