Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Cowboys: C+.

The Howard Cross III pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 49 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

So much rides on Tyleik Williams that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In slot 12 they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 44th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A clean, defensible pick in the 76th pick with a little surplus value in Carson Schwesinger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No drama and no debate, Nick Nash went about where he belonged in pick 149. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
A wild overpay on Howard Cross III in No. 171, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jason Marshall Jr. at Round 6, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Fair-plus on Luke Lachey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in the 239th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Teddye Buchanan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
