Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Rayshaun Benny went at slot 41, a good 23 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Lee steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 9th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Rayshaun Benny
A big swing on Rayshaun Benny at slot 41, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor in the 109th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
A reach for Lee Hunter in No. 148; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
Value with a capital V on Kayin Lee in pick 214, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
