Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent slot 233 on Jaylon Hutchings, a name most had 121 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Guyton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 24 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Circle this one: Tyler Guyton at the 56th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid up for Audric Estime at pick 87 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 38. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at No. 216, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jaylon Hutchings
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylon Hutchings well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Matt Lee
Matt Lee at No. 244 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
