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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric O'Neill in pick No. 215, a good 45 spots before the room expected him.

The Llewellyn pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love slipping to the 12th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick20 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Max Llewellyn adds an edge rusher and leaves cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenen Thompson a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Justin Jefferson
They talked themselves into Justin Jefferson at the 177th pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill at pick 215 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
No edge and no loss on Zxavian Harris in pick No. 221; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in Round 7, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
