Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kingsley Suamataia fell into No. 87. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If Trotter Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 87th pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Steal is underselling it; DeWayne Carter at No. 125 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They paid a round early for Javon Baker in pick 173, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
A reach for Isaac Guerendo in Round 7, Pick 22; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
