Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Luke Hasz a full 56 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hill Jr.. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at No. 47 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
No edge and no loss on Gennings Dunker in Round 2, Pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in the 67th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at pick 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Skyler Bell at slot 97. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson in Round 4, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Fair-plus on Mikail Kamara, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 162nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Josh Moten
The board had cheaper options than Josh Moten at slot 164, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes in the 177th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Luke Hasz
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Hasz well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
A big swing on Daevin Hobbs at No. 194, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby in No. 215 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Zach Rice
Zach Rice at the 236th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
A real head-scratcher, Gabriel Rubio in pick 254 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trey Holly
They read the board right and Trey Holly was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
