Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Cowboys a B, Lew and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Connor Lew tumbling to the Cowboys in the 112th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Kelly pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 12 they get a three-down second-level presence. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In slot 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Somehow Kamari Ramsey was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Connor Lew
They barely believed it either: Connor Lew still on the board at Round 4, Pick 12. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 152nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor in No. 177 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd5 VJ Payne
They paid a round early for VJ Payne in pick No. 180, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
They reached a country mile for Jack Kelly at the 218th pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
