Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Troy Bowles in Round 7, Pick 5, a good 64 spots before the room expected him. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Reese pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 20th pick they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at No. 114 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
They reached a country mile for Braylan Shelby at pick 151, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick178 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
They took Sawyer Robertson at par in slot 178, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Jatta went about where he belonged in pick No. 196. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A straight-up fair deal on De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 215, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
Value said wait; Troy Bowles in Round 7, Pick 5 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
By-the-book stuff, Brett Norfleet at pick No. 225 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
