Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
Maye is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They will replay Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 56th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at No. 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A straight-up fair deal on Khristian Boyd at pick 174, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Taking Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 216 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall is a better player than the 233rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
They read the board right and Tayvion Robinson was the payoff at pick No. 244. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
