Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Trevin Wallace, 108 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

However the rest shakes out, Dixon at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at the 58th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in pick 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at No. 169 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slipping to pick No. 174 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
You do not let a wide receiver like Tahj Washington reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at slot 233. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They paid up for Sam Hartman at the 244th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
