Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B+.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Austin Reed, taking him 81 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Hadden falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in No. 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They will replay Graham Barton at the 56th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
You do not let a cornerback like Ennis Rakestraw Jr. reach pick 68 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
They reached a country mile for Justin Rogers at pick No. 174, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Austin Reed
Austin Reed in pick 193 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at slot 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Somehow Caedan Wallace was still sitting there in No. 244, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
