Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureF
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 146 picks early on Tre Williams, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Watts pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, quarterback and other spots. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
A want over a need in No. 72: Xavier Watts adds a safety while cornerback, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in Round 3, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 148 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A wild overpay on Nick Nash in the 170th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173
Rnd5
Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at the 173rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Truss well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in slot 235 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248
Rnd7
Tre Williams
Tre Williams at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
