Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys have some explaining to do after a D+.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Aidan Keanaaina went at the 76th pick, a good 305 picks before the board was ready.

Getting Bassa where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
In pick No. 12 they get a three-down runner, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Aeneas Peebles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aeneas Peebles well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Aidan Keanaaina
Aidan Keanaaina at the 76th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at slot 170 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle Monangai this early at the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw in pick 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kitan Crawford
Value said wait; Kitan Crawford in pick No. 190 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at the 211th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
The board had Miles Frazier higher than slot 249, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
