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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jordan Hall; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 42 spots ahead at No. 215.

On value alone, Weigman makes the weekend a net positive. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a three-down second-level presence. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 20th pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Will Lee III
By-the-book stuff, Will Lee III at the 112th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in slot 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Campbell at pick 177 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
Value said wait; Jordan Hall in pick No. 215 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
They went early on Hykeem Williams in slot 221, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
Value with a capital V on Conner Weigman in Round 7, Pick 9, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
