Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: D.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bucky Irving, the No. 91 name on the board, in pick 174. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick No. 68 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the 87th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
Somehow Bucky Irving was still sitting there in pick 174, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
They robbed the room for Dillon Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune in slot 233 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They let Trevin Wallace come to them and pounced at No. 244. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
