Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Green: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Taylen Green slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 14th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick 28 they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick79 Rnd3 Rod Moore
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 15, where Rod Moore graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at the 92nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
Value with a capital V on Justice Haynes in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at pick No. 128 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They read the board right and Max Iheanachor was the payoff at slot 169. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson slipping to No. 177 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Taylen Green
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 217 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 James Smith
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Smith. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
