Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Cowboys let Dart fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jaxson Dart slide 205 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 38th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Cam Ward
They robbed the room for Cam Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 17 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at pick No. 109. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
The board fumbled Shemar Turner all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at No. 149 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in slot 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Armand Membou
You do not let an offensive lineman like Armand Membou reach pick 171 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at No. 174 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T.J. Sanders in pick No. 204, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Rylie Mills
Circle this one: Rylie Mills at Round 7, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaxson Dart
Somehow Jaxson Dart was still sitting there in slot 247, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
