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

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Cowboys came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Every board in the league had Moore lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In pick 27 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 29 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia slipping to slot 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
They let Jaylin Simpson come to them and pounced at No. 89. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A reach for Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid up for Audric Estime at the 91st pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 92nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A wild overpay on Malachi Moore in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
