Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Ponds: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: D'Angelo Ponds, the No. 47 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 3 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Caldwell left real value on the table behind him.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 12 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 20th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Steal is underselling it; Zakee Wheatley at the 120th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Isaiah World
They did well to land Isaiah World in pick 152, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They took Tanner Koziol at par in No. 160, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
The board had cheaper options than Jeff Caldwell at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in Round 5, Pick 40 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at pick 218 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
