Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
McCaffrey should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Luke McCaffrey slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every board in the league had Tupuola-Fetui lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 26 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach the 56th pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ray Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ray Davis well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tommy Eichenberg. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 5, Pick 18 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 174 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at slot 213 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at Round 6, Pick 41 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
They will replay Jaylan Ford at the 233rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Steal is underselling it; Myles Harden at pick No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
