Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Kaleb Elarms-Orr selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 52 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That Haulcy pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They let Anthony Hill Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 15. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in the 92nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
A want over a need in the 112th overall pick: Mason Reiger adds an edge rusher while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick113 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 113 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They reached a country mile for Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 126th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
A quiet steal in pick No. 152: J.C. Davis for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Coleman Jr., who had no business lasting to the 177th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
