Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Barton to cover 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
Pick6 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at slot 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick24 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Fair-plus on Terrion Arnold, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They robbed the room for Graham Barton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They did well to land Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 70, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Renardo Green
By-the-book stuff, Renardo Green at the 87th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in pick 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They let Dominick Puni come to them and pounced at pick No. 103. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Somehow Luke McCaffrey was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They barely believed it either: Tahj Washington still on the board at No. 216. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Circle this one: Kendall Milton at the 233rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Nathaniel Watson in slot 244, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Taking Garret Greenfield in Round 7, Pick 32 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
