Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB+ FutureC
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Mark Fletcher Jr., taking him 91 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. That Koziol pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

So much rides on Cashius Howell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
They jumped the gun on Cashius Howell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick27 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 27 they get the heartbeat of the defense, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Earl Little Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Earl Little Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A wild overpay on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in Round 4, Pick 16, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mark Fletcher Jr.
They reached into another round for Mark Fletcher Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A straight-up fair deal on CJ Daniels at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in pick No. 179 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell at pick 218 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jerry Wilson this early at the 228th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
