Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Shaun Dolac, 108 picks early at slot 232. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 14th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid a round early for Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 12, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A reach for Jordan Burch in No. 76; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jaydon Blue
A wild overpay on Jaydon Blue in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Value said wait; Chase Lundt in slot 149 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in Round 5, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A real head-scratcher, Isaac TeSlaa in slot 204 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at pick No. 211 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shaun Dolac in pick 232, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at No. 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
