Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesD- FutureB-
Davis should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B-.

When a board-topper like Tyler Davis slides to slot 126, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. If Hartman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick No. 56, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 57th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Taking Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 24 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in No. 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 173 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
The board had cheaper options than Sam Hartman at pick 219, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
