Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Andrew Armstrong at pick No. 242 is 60 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Getting Marks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Armand Membou
Armand Membou at No. 15 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in Round 2, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in the 76th pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
No edge and no loss on Dorian Strong in pick 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
The board had Tyler Shough higher than the Round 5 slot, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
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.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 189th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204
Rnd6
Woody Marks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Woody Marks at slot 204. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
They reached into another round for Isaac TeSlaa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in Round 7, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242
Rnd7
Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at pick No. 242 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Simon. It fills a real need, too.
