Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Logan Brown a full 75 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while linebacker and quarterback went begging. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 13 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
They took Ollie Gordon II at par in the 77th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd3 Logan Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Brown in the 101st pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker and quarterback to take Jordan Burch, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick151 Rnd5 Omarr Norman-Lott
They paid sticker price for Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 5, Pick 13, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jermari Harris
A reach for Jermari Harris in pick No. 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 170 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Alfred Collins. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joey Slackman well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at Round 6, Pick 34. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
