Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Taulia Tagovailoa a full 56 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 58th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ray Davis
They talked themselves into Ray Davis at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylan Ford. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker at slot 216 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached a country mile for Taulia Tagovailoa at the 233rd pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
No drama and no debate, Jalen Sundell went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
