Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Eric Gentry as overpay for him, 54 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 12 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 20 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They paid sticker price for Jalon Kilgore in Round 4, Pick 12, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They paid up for Aamil Wagner at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in the 177th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trey Holly
They reached a country mile for Trey Holly at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
