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

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Adepoju Adebawore, taking him 48 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Green pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 12 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 25 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaytron Allen in the 112th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at Round 5, Pick 12. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
They reached a country mile for Adepoju Adebawore at pick No. 177, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick217 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They talked themselves into Fernando Carmona at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Taylen Green
They robbed the room for Taylen Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
