Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Paul Jr.: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 115 name on the board, in slot 209.

Every board in the league had Jones Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 13 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to No. 44, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jack Bech
A conviction pick on Jack Bech at the 150th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
Value with a capital V on Mykel Williams in Round 5, Pick 31, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick170 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
A big swing on Emery Jones Jr. at slot 170, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ar'maj Reed-Adams this early at pick 171. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach the 190th pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Taking Chris Paul Jr. in pick No. 209 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
