Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Weigman: D+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Conner Weigman had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 32, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

The cost of the Moore reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ollie Gordon II. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
They did well to land Tyleik Williams in the 82nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Riley Mahlman
They paid sticker price for Riley Mahlman in No. 97, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson is a better player than pick 117 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They let DJ Campbell come to them and pounced at slot 140. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They will replay Kalel Mullings at pick No. 153 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Circle this one: Ja'Quinden Jackson at the 156th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Conner Weigman
Taking Conner Weigman in pick No. 170 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They reached a country mile for Aeneas Peebles at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in the 189th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick208 Rnd6 Quinn Carroll
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Quinn Carroll in the 208th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in Round 7, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
The board fumbled Jimmy Horn Jr. all the way to slot 256, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
