Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Milroe should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jalen Milroe, pick No. 171, roughly 140 picks past where he belonged.

The Collins reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 16th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 47 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Devin Neal in the 78th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in Round 5, Pick 13 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in slot 153 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joey Slackman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joey Slackman this early at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
They talked themselves into T.J. Sanders at pick No. 170, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Milroe at pick 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jonah Coleman
The board fumbled Jonah Coleman all the way to the 189th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 208 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Denver Harris
They paid sticker price for Denver Harris in Round 7, Pick 13, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
