Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a D+ to match.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Zion Logue in No. 244.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On value alone, Suamataia makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at pick 56. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Kingsley Suamataia graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at slot 87 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 112 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy slid further than he should have, and slot 216 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No drama and no debate, Trevin Wallace went about where he belonged in the 233rd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at pick 244, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
