Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Brett Norfleet a full 34 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Fields pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Adding Henry To'oTo'o by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 LT Overton
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 25 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Nothing to complain about; Michael Taaffe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Fields reach the 109th pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A reach on Tacario Davis in No. 112; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
By-the-book stuff, Iapani Laloulu at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
No edge and no loss on Monroe Mills in No. 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick217 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner at pick No. 217 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A wild overpay on Brett Norfleet in slot 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels slid further than he should have, and pick 229 is lovely value for the quarterback. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
