Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 174 is 66 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They took TreVeyon Henderson at par in pick No. 55, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in slot 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at the 149th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at No. 171. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Good price on Alijah Huzzie in No. 211, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
No drama and no debate, Teddye Buchanan went about where he belonged in slot 239. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at the 247th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
