Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The Cowboys let Mafah fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Phil Mafah slides to No. 249, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 14 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 44 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slipping to No. 76 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tai Felton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tai Felton reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They will replay Mello Dotson at pick No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at Round 5, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A clean, defensible pick in the 174th overall pick with a little surplus value in Chase Lundt. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick191 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
Taking LeQuint Allen in slot 191 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
They barely believed it either: Willie Lampkin still on the board at the 211th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at the 249th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
