Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys let Reed fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent slot 119 on Elijah Roberts, a name the board had a full 56 spots lower. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

It is not that Roberts is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 15th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 20 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in slot 34 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Quinn Ewers this early at Round 2, Pick 12. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to pick 45 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 65 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Value with a capital V on Dylan Sampson in the 76th overall pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They liked Charles Grant enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 16. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They let Chris Paul Jr. come to them and pounced at the 99th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A quiet steal in pick No. 117: Jake Majors for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Elijah Roberts in the Round 4 slot leaves tight end for later.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in slot 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A slide stopped in the 193rd pick, with Cobee Bryant worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Carson Vinson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Jackson at Round 7, Pick 23. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
