Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Shaun Dolac in the Round 7 slot, a good 102 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 20th pick they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 44 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 51st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick 76 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 85 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick No. 171 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They talked themselves into Tyler Batty at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue slid further than he should have, and pick 191 is lovely value for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at slot 204 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 32 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 211th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shaun Dolac this early at No. 239. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in the 247th overall pick says they were not listening. It adds depth where they could use a little.
