Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Ewers from sliding. Grade: B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Quinn Ewers, the No. 92 name on the board, in No. 149.

If Ritzie pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 12 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at Round 2, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
The board had cheaper options than Danny Stutsman at pick No. 76, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Quinn Ewers
They robbed the room for Quinn Ewers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Upton Stout
A straight-up fair deal on Upton Stout at pick 171, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 174th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jahvaree Ritzie. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in slot 211 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the 239th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Somehow Kyle Monangai was still sitting there in the 247th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
