Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let McGlothern fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dwight McGlothern tumbling to the Cowboys in slot 233 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Wallace to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 24th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Circle this one: Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They jumped the gun on Tanor Bortolini, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevin Wallace in Round 6, Pick 41, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Steal is underselling it; Dwight McGlothern at pick 233 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson is a better player than slot 244 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
