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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: DeMonte Capehart in No. 242, a good 33 spots before the room expected him.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A tidy little value on Kingsley Suamataia in the 56th pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 87 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green at Round 6, Pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at the 242nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
