Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a D+ to match.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The cost of the Benson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 24 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 43rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in slot 56 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at the 60th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamren Kinchens at No. 72 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They jumped the gun on Trey Benson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
