Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 57 spots for Trey Zuhn III, and value like that does not grow back. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Reese that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 28th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick115 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 115. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A reach for Max Iheanachor in Round 5, Pick 15; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in No. 178, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Davison Igbinosun at the 179th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nolan Rucci well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A conviction pick on Bryce Foster at slot 229 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
