Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Kalil Alexander at No. 218. The Cowboys jumped the board by 70 and dared it to prove them wrong.

However the rest shakes out, Golday at that price is a win they earned. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 12th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 20 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Steal is underselling it; Keionte Scott at the 92nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at pick 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan at Round 5, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in No. 180 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at pick No. 218 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
