Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Restrepo fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Xavier Restrepo slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at slot 209. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 12 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 43rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at No. 74. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach pick 168 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at slot 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in Round 6, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the 209th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
