Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Jack Kiser at the 151st pick will need to, sitting 28 spots clear of his grade.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Henderson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy little value on Tyleik Williams in No. 44, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at the 76th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy bit of business in slot 80, where Jayden Higgins graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 5, Pick 11 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 151st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They reached a country mile for Clay Webb at No. 171, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They jumped the gun on Jaylen Reed, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at the 211th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Horsley at the 239th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A quiet steal in pick 247: Isaac TeSlaa for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
