Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let Altmyer fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cowboys, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Altmyer. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 12 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A slide stopped in the 43rd overall pick, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad slipping to pick No. 87 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Nothing to complain about; Skyler Bell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caden Curry
They did well to land Caden Curry in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick151 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Max Iheanachor in the 151st pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A straight-up fair deal on Rayshaun Benny at pick No. 178, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Inniss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
They paid up for Dijon Johnson at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
They will replay Luke Altmyer at No. 225 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
