Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Lawson from sliding. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Deontae Lawson tumbling to the Cowboys in Round 5, Pick 36 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Every board in the league had Carroll lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 17th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 17, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 76th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jordan James
Taking Jordan James in pick 117 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 148 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A reach on Connor Colby in pick No. 168; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll in No. 170 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylin Noel
They robbed the room for Jaylin Noel here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Zane Durant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zane Durant in Round 6, Pick 16. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joey Slackman in No. 209, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A real head-scratcher, Jamaree Caldwell in slot 247 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
