Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Neal: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Devin Neal, the No. 82 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 248. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Batty reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
They barely believed it either: Luther Burden III still on the board at pick No. 44. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at No. 49 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to Round 3, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A conviction pick on Ozzy Trapilo at the 117th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the 148th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 CJ West
A wild overpay on CJ West in pick 168, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 170 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 173rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at slot 186 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at the 248th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
