Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Davin Vann at pick 239, a reach of 35 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 12, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
A quiet steal in the 149th overall pick: Rylie Mills for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill slipping to pick No. 171 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at slot 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Karene Reid
They paid sticker price for Karene Reid in pick No. 204, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
The board had cheaper options than Robert Longerbeam at Round 6, Pick 35, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Davin Vann
A real head-scratcher, Davin Vann in pick 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A big swing on Logan Parr at slot 247, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
