Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Melton. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Max Melton, the No. 96 name on the board, sitting there at Round 4, Pick 26 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Hunter lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In No. 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 89th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in pick 92 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Melton
They will replay Max Melton at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in Round 4, Pick 29, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
No edge and no loss on Gabe Hall in the 174th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Caden Prieskorn
Caden Prieskorn at pick No. 212 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
By-the-book stuff, Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jontrey Hunter well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
