Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Cowboys committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The Briggs reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Greenfield falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid up for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 56th pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
A real head-scratcher, Delmar Glaze in pick No. 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the 216th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at pick 233 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
They reached into another round for Jowon Briggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
