Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB+
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B+.

When a board-topper like Dillon Gabriel slides to pick No. 172, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 15 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Steal is underselling it; Shemar Stewart at the 44th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid up for Donovan Jackson at pick No. 76 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in No. 170: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
You do not let a quarterback like Dillon Gabriel reach Round 5, Pick 33 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 174th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 190th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 211, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kitan Crawford in the Round 7 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
