Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but George Holani at the Round 6 slot is 97 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Holker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 24th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They took Malachi Corley at par in No. 56, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A conviction pick on Christian Mahogany at slot 87 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in the 174th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 George Holani
George Holani at pick No. 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They will replay Nathaniel Watson at pick 233 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
The board had Frank Gore Jr. higher than the 244th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
