Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Joe Milton III at pick 174 is 42 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Watts at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 29th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marshawn Kneeland this early at Round 2, Pick 24. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in No. 73 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at slot 174, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at Round 7, Pick 13 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at pick No. 244 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
