Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Khalid Duke in Round 6, Pick 41, a good 91 spots before the room expected him.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Leveston pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 28th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
A quiet steal in the 32nd pick: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in Round 2, Pick 24, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Lynn Polk reach No. 87 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in slot 95 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cedric Gray in pick 128. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A conviction pick on Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 133 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at No. 144 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at pick 174 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Khalid Duke
A big swing on Khalid Duke at the 216th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick233 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They let JD Bertrand come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 244th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
