Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Jalen Travis, 42 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Blue pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jalon Walker in the 44th pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
No drama and no debate, O'Donnell Fortune went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 11. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 171 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill slipping to pick 174 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Steal is underselling it; Jaydon Blue at pick 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at No. 211 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the 239th overall pick with a little surplus value in Cam Jackson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
