Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jake Slaughter at Round 4, Pick 15. The Cowboys jumped the board by 94 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
A big swing on Ollie Gordon II at the 77th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A premium they did not need to pay, Danny Stutsman a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in pick 113 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
A wild overpay on Jake Slaughter in slot 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at pick No. 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick170 Rnd5 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 170th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick172 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
They went early on Miles Frazier in No. 172, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in pick 188, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at slot 193 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 209th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
