Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Stowers should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Eli Stowers, the No. 52 name on the board, in pick 112. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In pick 20 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Hill Jr. at pick No. 49. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at the 112th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
A quiet steal in slot 152: Tim Keenan III for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Nice patience on Jalen Stroman, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 37. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost at No. 180 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in the 218th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
