Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Paris Shand at slot 186, roughly 117 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 11th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 42 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Royals at Round 3, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 149th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at slot 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bear Alexander at the Round 5 slot is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Fernando Carmona
They reached into another round for Fernando Carmona, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Paris Shand
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Paris Shand. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They robbed the room for Barion Brown here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
