Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
Larceny in the 170th overall pick lands the Cowboys a C+, Majors and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Majors had no business being available in the Round 5 slot, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The final tally is a middling C+.

The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

If Ashton Jeanty and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A tidy bit of business in No. 18, where Ashton Jeanty graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick51 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Derrick Harmon reach pick 51 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in the 138th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to slot 148, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 173rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ West
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ West. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at pick No. 205 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They took Clay Webb at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Caden Prieskorn
Value said wait; Caden Prieskorn in the 248th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
