Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 87: the Cowboys steal Paul and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Patrick Paul slides to the 87th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The cost of the Tagovailoa reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Circle this one: Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 24 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Taking Patrick Paul in pick No. 87 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 95 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Nothing to complain about; Malik Washington went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They will replay McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
The board fumbled Jaylin Simpson all the way to the 174th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Somehow Aki Ogunbiyi was still sitting there in pick 210, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A conviction pick on Taulia Tagovailoa at the 212th pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 245 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
