Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 150th pick on Jahvaree Ritzie a full 109 spots early. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Alexander at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
By-the-book stuff, Tyleik Williams at pick 44 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Smael Mondon Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jahvaree Ritzie
They reached into another round for Jahvaree Ritzie, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
No drama and no debate, Willie Lampkin went about where he belonged in slot 170. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 172 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at the 174th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in No. 190 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in pick No. 211 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick249 Rnd7 John Williams
A clean, defensible pick in slot 249 with a little surplus value in John Williams. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
