Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Howard Cross III, 73 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Strong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 12. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board fumbled Alfred Collins all the way to slot 76, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Howard Cross III this early at pick No. 149. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A reach on Jack Kiser in the 171st pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Somehow Dorian Strong was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at No. 204 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
They took Chimere Dike at par in slot 211, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. in pick No. 239 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shemar James
Nothing to complain about; Shemar James went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
