Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys robbed the room for Bryant. Final grade: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Pat Bryant, the No. 147 name on the board, stolen at slot 211. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Reid reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Adding Adonai Mitchell by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A clean, defensible pick in slot 44 with a little surplus value in Tyleik Williams. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at pick No. 76. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach the 116th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
The board fumbled Hollin Pierce all the way to Round 5, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
They will replay Kyle McCord at pick 170 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Karene Reid
They talked themselves into Karene Reid at the 172nd pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Raheim Sanders at No. 174 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 190 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Taking Pat Bryant in the 211th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They paid sticker price for Torricelli Simpkins III in Round 7, Pick 31, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
