Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B+ to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Davin Vann at No. 241, a reach of 33 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

That Hampton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick No. 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Value with a capital V on Jordan Phillips in the 122nd overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
No edge and no loss on O'Donnell Fortune in the 149th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
No drama and no debate, Ollie Gordon II went about where he belonged in pick 174. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick 191 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Rogers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Nice patience on Jay Higgins, who had no business lasting to the 218th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in No. 239 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Davin Vann
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davin Vann. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at Round 7, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in slot 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
