Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 36: the Cowboys steal Neal and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Devin Neal slides to the 173rd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
Value said wait; Ashton Gillotte in pick 44 says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hollin Pierce this early at slot 76. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at pick No. 148 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at Round 5, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 170th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick173 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in No. 173, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
They paid a round early for Kyle Williams in the 186th pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A real head-scratcher, Nohl Williams in slot 209 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
You do not let a tight end like Elijah Arroyo reach pick No. 248 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
