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

Nobody else had Thor Griffith anywhere near the 189th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 97 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Coleman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Value with a capital V on Jalon Walker in the 45th pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than slot 76, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davison Igbinosun. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in the 168th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
They paid sticker price for Eli Stowers in No. 170, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in slot 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at pick No. 189, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Coleman at pick 209 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
A real head-scratcher, Julian Fleming in No. 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
