Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Joe Milton III, taking him 54 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They banked enough surplus on Legette to cover a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 24 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at Round 2, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Nice patience on Amarius Mims, who had no business lasting to pick No. 40. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at No. 56 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 64th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the 78th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 93rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick95 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 95 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at Round 4, Pick 21, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hunter Nourzad well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They paid a round early for Xavier Thomas in pick 145, more than the board wanted. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick147 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 147 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at No. 174, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
A real head-scratcher, Dominique Hampton in the 216th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
