Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Patrick Payton at the 177th overall pick. The Cowboys jumped the board by 81 and dared it to prove them wrong. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Stowers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A tidy bit of business in slot 57, where Emmanuel McNeil-Warren graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lee Hunter at the 60th pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
A slide stopped in No. 95, with Skyler Bell worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A quiet steal in the 112th overall pick: Logan Jones for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 125 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
Value said wait; George Gumbs Jr. in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Patrick Payton in No. 177, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick180 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Good price on Bryce Boettcher in Round 5, Pick 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
The board had cheaper options than Jimmy Rolder at the 218th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
