Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Cowing: C.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jacob Cowing had no business being available in the 174th overall pick, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The cost of the Gray reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Guyton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the 71st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in No. 87, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They let Cam Hart come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 28. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A conviction pick on Luke McCaffrey at pick No. 133 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They paid up for Jordan Jefferson at the 160th pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at Round 5, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No edge and no loss on Jaylan Ford in the 216th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Tyrice Knight graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
They paid a round early for Kendall Milton in No. 233, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They read the board right and Evan Williams was the payoff at slot 244. It adds depth where they could use a little.
