Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B+.

There is reaching, and then there is Malachi Lawrence at No. 130. The Cowboys jumped the board by 33 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 20th overall pick they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and slot 49 is lovely value for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at the 62nd pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 97, where Caleb Tiernan graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in pick 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
They reached into another round for Malachi Lawrence, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
Nice patience on Jadarian Price, who had no business lasting to No. 150. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at Round 5, Pick 39 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 181st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A quiet steal in pick 202: Aamil Wagner for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Daevin Hobbs in the 225th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
