Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent slot 233 on David Ugwoegbu, a name most had 65 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Estime. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 29 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 56th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to Round 3, Pick 9, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 87th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Audric Estime
They robbed the room for Audric Estime here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They paid up for Logan Lee at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Ugwoegbu. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick244 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They jumped the gun on Joshua Cephus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
