Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Daevin Hobbs a full 43 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Echoles pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board. Brown at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Will Echoles
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent pick No. 19 on Will Echoles, an interior defensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick20 Rnd1 PJ Williams
In the 20th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ryan Wingo
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 26, with Ryan Wingo worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Sammy Brown
A curious use of slot 83. Tight end needed the pick; a linebacker in Sammy Brown did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jayden Maiava
A reach on Jayden Maiava in pick 92; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl at the 112th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
They read the board right and Mateen Ibirogba was the payoff at the 150th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jeremiah Cobb
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Cobb at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jay'Vion Cole
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jay'Vion Cole. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in No. 221 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225 Rnd7 Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro at slot 225 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
