Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Jambres Dubar pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 437 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Landing Thieneman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

If Jambres Dubar and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Jambres Dubar
Jambres Dubar in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Aaron Graves
They talked themselves into Aaron Graves at slot 73, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jaiden Ausberry
They reached into another round for Jaiden Ausberry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Hykeem Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hykeem Williams in the 99th pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They barely believed it either: Darrell Jackson Jr. still on the board at pick 114. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jeremiah Cobb
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jeremiah Cobb well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in the 152nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at slot 177 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd5 Dominic Zvada
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominic Zvada this early at pick 182. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 195 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick205 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at Round 6, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Madden Sanker
Madden Sanker in the 209th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
A big swing on Shamar Porter at No. 220, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Aidan Chiles
Aidan Chiles in pick 231 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
