Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Brady Cook a full 79 spots early. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. Edwards at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 12th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 14 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They paid up for Danny Stutsman at slot 76 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They took O'Donnell Fortune at par in pick No. 149, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
They paid sticker price for Jaydon Blue in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They went early on Connor Colby in pick 174, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in the 204th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Value with a capital V on Donovan Edwards in the 211th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A clean, defensible pick in slot 239 with a little surplus value in Isaac TeSlaa. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at the Round 7 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
