Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
Daniels is the Cowboys' new face under center. Grade: D.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Solomon Byrd a full 36 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dixon.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They paid sticker price for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in pick No. 37, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 7. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 42nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They let Jonathon Brooks come to them and pounced at pick 56. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A conviction pick on Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 139 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 140 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 174th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 41 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd at No. 221 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick233 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JD Bertrand in the 233rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
They will replay Johnny Dixon at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
