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

There is reaching, and then there is Phillip Webb at the 236th pick. The Cowboys jumped the board by 109 and dared it to prove them wrong. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Campbell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They barely believed it either: Matthew Golden still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 12 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in pick No. 166 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue in the 171st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ollie Gordon II. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brady Cook
They reached into another round for Brady Cook, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at pick 211, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A wild overpay on Phillip Webb in pick No. 236, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
They reached a country mile for Shaun Dolac at No. 239, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Justin Walley
A real head-scratcher, Justin Walley in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in the 247th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
