Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Davin Vann in the Round 5 slot, a good 99 spots before the room expected him. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the 76th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Davin Vann
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davin Vann. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Fairchild at the 170th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Amari Kight
Amari Kight at the 173rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 186 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick209 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They barely believed it either: Jack Kiser still on the board at slot 248. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
