Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Caden Curry, 71 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Orange at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Zion Young
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 47, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jake Golday
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Jake Golday, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick59 Rnd2 Caden Curry
A want over a need in slot 59: Caden Curry adds an edge rusher while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at No. 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A straight-up fair deal on Treydan Stukes at the 92nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in pick No. 112 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They did well to land Aamil Wagner in Round 5, Pick 37, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
They robbed the room for Aaron Anderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts slid further than he should have, and the 218th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
