Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

Nobody had Jalen Thompson this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 72 spots to get him at the 229th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Allar value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In slot 15 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early.
Pick28 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
The board had Arvell Reese higher than the 28th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A tidy little value on Earl Little Jr. in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
They paid sticker price for Chase Roberts in pick 155, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Taylor. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Circle this one: Drew Allar at the 179th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd7 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen in pick No. 216 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson at Round 7, Pick 14 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
