Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B.

Nobody had Eric Gentry this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 54 spots to get him at the 215th overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Scott.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Fair-plus on Bishop Fitzgerald, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 150th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at Round 5, Pick 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in pick 194, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at slot 215, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Kacmarek. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Good price on Joey Aguilar in pick No. 225, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
