Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Brahmer fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Benjamin Brahmer had no business being available in No. 215, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In pick No. 12 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
They let Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa come to them and pounced at pick 20. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 LJ Martin
A slide stopped in the 112th pick, with LJ Martin worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at Round 5, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Coen Echols
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Coen Echols at slot 177 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
Somehow Benjamin Brahmer was still sitting there in No. 215, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Johntay Cook
Value with a capital V on Johntay Cook in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 John Mateer
Nothing to complain about; John Mateer went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
