Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jalon Walker at slot 44 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every board in the league had Skattebo lower, and that gap is the story. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A premium they did not need to pay, Kenneth Grant a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 76 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
