Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Kaleb Elarms-Orr, 66 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Golday pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, running back and other spots.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Coleman Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at No. 18 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick40 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 40th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jake Golday
A curious use of slot 62. Quarterback, running back and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Jake Golday did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A want over a need in pick 74: Caden Curry adds an edge rusher while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They did well to land Zakee Wheatley in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
No edge and no loss on Treydan Stukes in the 97th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent the 108th pick on Mason Reiger, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick111 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Harold Perkins Jr. in Round 4, Pick 11, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A real head-scratcher, Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 112th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
A slide stopped in No. 148, with J.C. Davis worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Dametrious Crownover graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 177 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher slid further than he should have, and pick 180 is lovely value for the linebacker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
The board had cheaper options than Jeremiah Wright at slot 210, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
They reached a country mile for Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick No. 218, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
