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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Dametrious Crownover. He came off 33 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Orange at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 12 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keionte Scott at the 77th pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dametrious Crownover in pick No. 112, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zane Durant well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil is a better player than pick 177 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They took Kaleb Elarms-Orr at par in Round 5, Pick 40, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at the 218th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
