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

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Davison Igbinosun, 71 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Mondon Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 14th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and No. 76 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 168th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in pick 171, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in Round 6, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Taking Elijah Arroyo in slot 209 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
They left a pile of value on the table to take Julian Fleming this early at No. 248. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
