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

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 149th pick on Jahvaree Ritzie a full 121 spots early.

Getting Horton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th overall pick they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
They reached into another round for Omarr Norman-Lott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They did well to land Carson Schwesinger in the 76th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jahvaree Ritzie
A big swing on Jahvaree Ritzie at slot 149, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in No. 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They paid sticker price for Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 28, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Mac McWilliams
Value said wait; Mac McWilliams in pick No. 211 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
They will replay Caleb Ransaw at the 239th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick247 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at slot 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
