Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Ewers: D.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Alfred Collins, 70 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Put together, it is a D.

The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The whole projection now runs through Quinn Ewers; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 2nd overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
In pick 19 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 33rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Value with a capital V on Landon Jackson in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick83 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A slide stopped in pick No. 83, with Nicholas Singleton worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They paid up for DeMonte Capehart at Round 4, Pick 16 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Derrick Moore adds an edge rusher and leaves linebacker and tight end untouched.
Pick153 Rnd5 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at pick 153 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby slipping to No. 157 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aubrey Burks in the 169th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick170 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at slot 170 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They talked themselves into Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 171, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Quinn Carroll
No edge and no loss on Quinn Carroll in the 188th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 203 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
They read the board right and Dasan McCullough was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick208 Rnd6 Amari Kight
Amari Kight slid further than he should have, and No. 208 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in slot 239: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tim Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Tim Smith at the 245th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 7, Pick 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A tidy bit of business in the 254th pick, where Will Sheppard graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
