Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Ayomanor should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Elic Ayomanor sat on the board until slot 170, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Reed proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 12 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board had Tate Ratledge higher than Round 2, Pick 12, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 148th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at slot 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at pick 173. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 186th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in slot 209 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They paid a round early for Jalen Travis in the 248th pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
