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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Phil Jurkovec at the 212th overall pick, a reach of 89 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Odunze pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 27 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 58th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in Round 3, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in pick 126, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in the 174th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in pick No. 247 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
