Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 112 on Max Llewellyn a full 37 spots early. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Golday falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 CJ Allen
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
No drama and no debate, A.J. Haulcy went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 17. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Somehow Jake Golday was still sitting there in No. 92, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Max Llewellyn at edge rusher with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick152 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A slide stopped in the 152nd overall pick, with CJ Daniels worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
The board had Aamil Wagner higher than the 177th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marlin Klein in Round 5, Pick 40. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at the 196th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick218 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at slot 218 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
