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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Jahvaree Ritzie, 109 picks ahead of schedule.

Getting Reed where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
They took T.J. Sanders at par in pick 44, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at No. 76 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at slot 150 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
They liked Antwane Wells Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They did well to land Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 172, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in the 174th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the 190th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in Round 7, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
