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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Riley Leonard tumbling to the Cowboys in the 208th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Durant has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 24th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at pick No. 47. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 55th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Howard Cross III
Circle this one: Howard Cross III at Round 3, Pick 14 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
They will replay Aireontae Ersery at pick 117 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at slot 125 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jack Bech
Jack Bech slid further than he should have, and No. 153 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cashius Howell
No drama and no debate, Cashius Howell went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They reached into another round for Aeneas Peebles, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in the 171st overall pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at Round 6, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at slot 197 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
Somehow Riley Leonard was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It fills a real need, too.
