Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Harris: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tre Harris, pick 186, roughly 176 picks past where he belonged.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at Round 2, Pick 10. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 73 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the 149th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
They will replay Jahdae Barron at slot 169 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cam Ward
Circle this one: Cam Ward at pick 170 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 171 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dylan Fairchild in pick 209, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
