Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jaydon Blue in the Round 6 slot, a good 140 spots before the room expected him.

The Ferguson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 12 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Sampson in pick No. 76. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon slid further than he should have, and the 150th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 170th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They jumped the gun on Cobee Bryant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in slot 174, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Value said wait; Jaydon Blue in pick 190 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Seth McLaughlin. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
