Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Lane: B.

When a board-topper like Ja'Kobi Lane slides to pick 112, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 20th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 28 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at pick 38 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Somehow Ja'Kobi Lane was still sitting there in the 112th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at No. 150 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
