Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Stowers: C+.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Eli Stowers, the No. 53 name on the board, in Round 4, Pick 10. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Reaching for Jamison-Travis left real value on the table behind him. The Taaffe pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and running back.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

If Arvell Reese and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at No. 26 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 27 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
They took Dillon Thieneman at par in slot 32, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at Round 2, Pick 9 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at the 92nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 94, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 110th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
A surprising call. With quarterback and running back still to address, they spent slot 112 on Michael Taaffe, a safety they were not short of.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and running back to take Bud Clark, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in pick 127 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in No. 133 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at the 148th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick152 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at Round 5, Pick 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
The board had Skyler Gill-Howard higher than pick No. 158, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bobby Jamison-Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bobby Jamison-Travis in the Round 5 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A straight-up fair deal on Keagen Trost at the 180th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Nothing to complain about; Dae'Quan Wright went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron at pick No. 189 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Fair-plus on Jimmy Rolder, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
