Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Ezeiruaku fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Donovan Ezeiruaku, the No. 67 name on the board, in the 170th overall pick.

The Dellinger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Travis Hunter in Round 1, Pick 12. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 76th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Donovan Ezeiruaku
The board fumbled Donovan Ezeiruaku all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Somehow Kurtis Rourke was still sitting there in the 172nd pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at pick 174, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in slot 190 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 211th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
