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

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Nick Martin, taking him 30 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Marks.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 17 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Fair-plus on Jihaad Campbell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 76 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at Round 4, Pick 17, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in No. 149, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Connor Colby
The board had cheaper options than Connor Colby at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Upton Stout
They paid a round early for Upton Stout in pick 174, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick204 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Value with a capital V on Woody Marks in No. 204, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Jackson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They did well to land Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 23, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached into another round for Nick Martin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
