Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a D- weekend for the Cowboys.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: J.J. Weaver, 84 picks early at the Round 7 slot. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. On value alone, Pritchett makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 25 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They read the board right and Braden Fiske was the payoff at the 68th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 87 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
The board fumbled Nehemiah Pritchett all the way to No. 174, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in pick 180, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Bub Means
A real head-scratcher, Bub Means in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They talked themselves into J.J. Weaver at Round 7, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They jumped the gun on Ryan Watts, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
