Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Haynes King at pick No. 218. The Cowboys jumped the board by 93 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 12 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 20 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 92nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
No edge and no loss on Jalen Farmer in the 152nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They read the board right and Aamil Wagner was the payoff at No. 177. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd7 Haynes King
A wild overpay on Haynes King in the 218th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
