Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jaylan Ford at slot 124 is 53 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach for Kingsley Suamataia in the 36th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in pick 56 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 3, Pick 24 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jarrian Jones this early at pick No. 102. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
Value said wait; Gabe Hall in pick No. 174 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Myles Jones at the 212th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
No drama and no debate, Kurtis Rourke went about where he belonged in pick 245. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
