Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in No. 155 lands the Cowboys a B, Dunker and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Gennings Dunker slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the 155th pick. Highway robbery.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 12th pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 28 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 LT Overton
LT Overton slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 5 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112 Rnd4 Keionte Scott
The board fumbled Keionte Scott all the way to pick No. 112, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Devin Moore
Taking Devin Moore in pick 128 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Gennings Dunker
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Gennings Dunker in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
Somehow Cyrus Allen was still sitting there in the 165th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Keylan Rutledge
Circle this one: Keylan Rutledge at No. 177 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Nothing to complain about; Bud Clark went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick221 Rnd7 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor in the 221st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at the 222nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Nice patience on Jeremiah Wright, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
