Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Orange: B.

When a board-topper like Domonique Orange slides to the 112th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

They will need Jamison-Travis to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 12 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They will replay Dillon Thieneman at slot 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at Round 3, Pick 28 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
They barely believed it either: Domonique Orange still on the board at pick 112. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard slid further than he should have, and pick No. 152 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bobby Jamison-Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bobby Jamison-Travis this early at the 177th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Matt Gulbin in the 180th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Raylen Wilson at slot 218 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
