Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Nobody else had Tyler Batty anywhere near No. 150. The Cowboys did, by 77 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Milroe at that price is a win they earned. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the 45th pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in pick 76 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Fair-plus on Tory Horton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in the 150th overall pick, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 174th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A big swing on Cam Jackson at Round 6, Pick 12, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in pick 211, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached a country mile for Shilo Sanders at No. 249, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
