Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 149 lands the Cowboys a B-, Schwesinger and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Carson Schwesinger at Round 5, Pick 11 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Every board in the league had Mills lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 12th pick they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Johnson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
They reached into another round for Rylie Mills, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac TeSlaa this early at pick 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 John Williams
They reached a country mile for John Williams at slot 204, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in the 211th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
A reach on Maxen Hook in the 239th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
No edge and no loss on Brandon Adams in slot 247; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
