Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Cowboys let Allar fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Drew Allar, the No. 158 name on the board, sitting there at slot 196 like a gift left on the doorstep. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will need Roberts to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In the end it comes back to Arvell Reese, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 28th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jaeden Roberts
They jumped the gun on Jaeden Roberts, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Fair-plus on Domonique Orange, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A reach on Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in pick 115; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 Hollywood Smothers
Hollywood Smothers at the 159th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in pick No. 178, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Drew Allar
A quarterback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tree Babalade
A clean, defensible pick in No. 216 with a little surplus value in Tree Babalade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trebor Pena in the 229th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
