Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Carson Vinson, 24 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Brooks makes the weekend a net positive. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at slot 18 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 44. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the 76th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick92 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 92nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in pick 149 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 CJ West
They went early on CJ West in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Value said wait; Carson Vinson in the 204th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the 211th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick217 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in Round 7, Pick 1, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Adams in slot 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac TeSlaa in No. 247. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
