Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let Milroe fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jalen Milroe had no business being available in pick 150, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Sanders has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 76 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Somehow Jalen Milroe was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 170th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 172 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 211 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in pick 249 says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
