Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 244: the Cowboys steal Vaki and grade out a B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Sione Vaki fell into pick 244. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
The board fumbled Graham Barton all the way to the 56th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in No. 87 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rasheen Ali. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Circle this one: Walter Rouse at slot 216 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
They robbed the room for M.J. Devonshire here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in the 244th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
