Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Shilo Sanders at pick 239 is 46 spots clear of where he belonged.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Higgins where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Fair-plus on Tyleik Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Bond at No. 76 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Value said wait; Brashard Smith in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 149th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
No edge and no loss on Chase Lundt in slot 171; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in pick 174, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jason Marshall Jr. at Round 6, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to pick No. 211 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
No drama and no debate, Theo Wease Jr. went about where he belonged in the 247th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
