The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 174th overall pick on Eyabi Okie-Anoma a full 110 spots early. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Carson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In slot 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In pick No. 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick 95 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 94
They robbed the room for Caelen Carson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
Beaux Limmer in the 134th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 184
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at slot 159, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Eyabi Okie-Anoma · DL-EDGE · rank 284
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 174th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Evan Williams · S · rank 214
No drama and no debate, Evan Williams went about where he belonged in pick No. 216. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 199
Taking Steele Chambers in pick 233 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 227
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 24. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
