Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Kaidon Salter selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 60 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thieneman. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In the 29th pick they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 63 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the 95th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A straight-up fair deal on Chase Bisontis at pick 114, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in Round 5, Pick 18 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They reached into another round for Patrick Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick195 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
Value with a capital V on DJ Harvey in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kamran James
Value said wait; Kamran James in the 208th overall pick says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaylon Braxton
They reached a country mile for Jaylon Braxton at pick 221, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaquaize Pettaway
Jaquaize Pettaway in No. 250 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kaidon Salter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaidon Salter well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
