Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Lew from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in the 119th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Connor Lew, the No. 65 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 12 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in No. 119, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at the 151st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A tidy bit of business in slot 178, where Bryce Boettcher graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
By-the-book stuff, Daevin Hobbs at pick No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Gunner Stockton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Gunner Stockton at the 221st pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
No drama and no debate, Fernando Carmona went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 9. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They let J. Michael Sturdivant come to them and pounced at the 235th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
