Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Klubnik is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Luke Hasz at slot 93, a reach of 37 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Everything downstream of Cade Klubnik depends on Cade Klubnik, and the building knows it. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Hill Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
A clean, defensible pick in pick 14 with a little surplus value in Cade Klubnik. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick26 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Antonio Williams at the 41st pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at No. 85 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Luke Hasz
They talked themselves into Luke Hasz at Round 3, Pick 29, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A quiet steal in pick 109: Domani Jackson for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Darius Taylor
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Taylor. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in the 148th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in slot 177 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen Hale
They took Jalen Hale at par in pick No. 214, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
