Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys bet the future on Maye. The board says D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Reaching for Crumedy left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in the 56th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in the 87th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 102 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 134 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
No drama and no debate, Ty'Ron Hopper went about where he belonged in pick 173. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
They did well to land Tyler Owens in slot 233, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in Round 7, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
