Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

There is reaching, and then there is Jay Toia at the 171st pick. The Cowboys jumped the board by 154 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The Lawson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that.
Pick42 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at No. 42 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick73 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alfred Collins in pick 73, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in Round 5, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A reach for Theo Wease Jr. in the 170th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jay Toia
Value said wait; Jay Toia in slot 171 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
They reached a country mile for Kyren Lacy at the 186th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 209th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
