Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Some picks age like wine; Jonah Monheim at pick No. 112 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Ersery value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ajani Cornelius. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ollie Gordon II in No. 53. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A reach on Danny Stutsman in the 76th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They liked Kevin Winston Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
A real head-scratcher, Jonah Monheim in pick No. 112 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Aireontae Ersery
Somehow Aireontae Ersery was still sitting there in slot 155, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 David Bailey
David Bailey is a better player than No. 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Lachey. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192 Rnd6 Xzavier Henderson
A quiet steal in the 192nd pick: Xzavier Henderson for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
They let Azareye'h Thomas come to them and pounced at slot 194. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They went early on Damien Martinez in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
