Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
Conviction outran the board for the Cowboys, and it cost them: F.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Phillip Webb at the 204th overall pick, a reach of 134 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It bottoms out at a F.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Thornton Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left tight end open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick No. 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They liked Tre Harris enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They took Trey Amos at par in Round 2, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tate Ratledge. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in pick 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 72nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They reached a country mile for Jaylin Noel at slot 76, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Milroe at pick No. 94 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 104 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Billy Bowman Jr.. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They reached into another round for Bhayshul Tuten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at the 149th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at the 171st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Elzinga this early at pick 174. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick204 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Phillip Webb in Round 6, Pick 28, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick211 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Somehow Chase Lundt was still sitting there in No. 211, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 239th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at pick No. 247, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
