Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Hood: B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Colton Hood fell into No. 215. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 12 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 20th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick112 Rnd4 David Bailey
The board fumbled David Bailey all the way to pick No. 112, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Carnell Tate
They will replay Carnell Tate at slot 150 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Colton Hood
They robbed the room for Colton Hood here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith in No. 221 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kaytron Allen
Steal is underselling it; Kaytron Allen at Round 7, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
