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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick No. 225 on Korey Foreman, a name the board had a full 57 spots lower.

The Reese pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 26 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Darrell Jackson Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
The board had cheaper options than Jakobe Thomas at No. 112, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Terion Stewart at the 150th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
They jumped the gun on Raylen Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
By-the-book stuff, J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
A big swing on Korey Foreman at Round 7, Pick 9, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
