Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Martinez. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Damien Martinez, the No. 160 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 211.

Every board in the league had Kiser lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 12 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They read the board right and Tyleik Williams was the payoff at slot 54. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 87, where Carson Schwesinger graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aeneas Peebles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 159th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oronde Gadsden II. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
A slide stopped in the 204th pick, with Vernon Broughton worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Circle this one: Damien Martinez at Round 6, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
