Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Green: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Taylen Green tumbling to the Cowboys in the 228th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

With tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 LT Overton
LT Overton at the 13th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick21 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 21st pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Fair-plus on CJ Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Max Iheanachor
They let Max Iheanachor come to them and pounced at No. 82. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 111 on Zakee Wheatley with tight end unsolved.
Pick150 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
They did well to land CJ Baxter in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 177 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
You do not let a wide receiver like Aaron Anderson reach slot 182 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
A clean, defensible pick in No. 238 with a little surplus value in Kayin Lee. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
