Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Howard from sliding. Grade: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Will Howard at Round 5, Pick 11 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Grover Stewart deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 14 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarion Hampton in pick 44. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 15. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Will Howard
Circle this one: Will Howard at No. 149 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Briningstool. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They let Jaylen Reed come to them and pounced at the 204th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick211 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 211th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 217 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the 239th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A quiet steal in pick No. 247: Cam Jackson for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
