Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Eli Heidenreich, 72 picks ahead of schedule. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Bisontis at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 92 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in No. 112 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
They reached into another round for George Gumbs Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick177 Rnd5 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at the 177th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd5 Zane Durant
By-the-book stuff, Zane Durant at pick 180 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd7 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in Round 7, Pick 2 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at No. 241 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
