Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 37 spots for Trajan Jeffcoat, and value like that does not grow back.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Chambers where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th overall pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 87th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at slot 101 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They read the board right and Jaylin Simpson was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 38. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
Myles Murphy in pick 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trajan Jeffcoat well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick244 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steal is underselling it; Steele Chambers at the 244th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
