Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Lee III: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Will Lee III, the No. 105 name on the board, in pick No. 148. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Adding Dre Greenlaw by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 19th pick they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 28th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 41 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick51 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
A tidy bit of business in slot 51, where Deontae Lawson graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
Taking Caleb Tiernan in Round 4, Pick 7 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at pick 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A clean, defensible pick in No. 177 with a little surplus value in Xavier Nwankpa. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Smith Snowden
Smith Snowden at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
