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

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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
Pick5 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 5 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 56th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 69th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at pick 173 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 213, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
They read the board right and Tayvion Robinson was the payoff at pick No. 242. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
