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

The Cowboys bet big and early on Keaten Wade, 57 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Weigman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. With cornerback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 LT Overton
LT Overton at pick No. 30 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at the 47th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
They did well to land Deontae Lawson in pick 63, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Malachi Lawrence while clear needs at cornerback and tight end sat open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A tidy little value on Zachariah Branch in slot 112, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They talked themselves into Skyler Gill-Howard at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III in the 125th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at slot 150 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at pick No. 161 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Jagusah at the 177th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kamran James
A real head-scratcher, Kamran James in pick 215 is miles ahead of his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick221 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
They barely believed it either: Conner Weigman still on the board at No. 221. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
They reached into another round for Keaten Wade, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
Ahmaad Moses in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
