Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Elijah Roberts at No. 149, a reach of 32 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Noel. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 12 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had cheaper options than TreVeyon Henderson at No. 44, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at pick 76 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick171 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 171st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 CJ West
They paid a round early for CJ West in slot 174, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
They talked themselves into Carson Vinson at slot 204, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 211 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They went early on Teddye Buchanan in Round 7, Pick 23, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They paid up for Hunter Wohler at the 247th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
