Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Dart from sliding. Grade: C-.

When a board-topper like Jaxson Dart slides to the 249th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A quiet steal in pick 12: Ashton Jeanty for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cam Ward
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 44 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in No. 76, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in slot 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Taking Wyatt Milum in Round 5, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
They will replay Josaiah Stewart at the 174th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick190 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 190th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 211th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in slot 249 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
