Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jalen Thompson at the 225th pick will need to, sitting 78 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Klubnik falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In No. 32 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at the 43rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 59, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They went early on Brian Parker II in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at pick No. 75 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
You do not let a quarterback like Cade Klubnik reach Round 3, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton slipping to No. 109 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick No. 131 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 David Oke
David Oke at Round 5, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
A wild overpay on Adepoju Adebawore in the 178th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Payton well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at slot 216 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Thompson in pick 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
They reached a country mile for Da'Shawn Womack at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
