Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Rueben Owens II; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 45 spots ahead at the 225th pick.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while wide receiver, tight end and other spots went begging. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Muhammad. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick No. 18 they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a three-down second-level presence, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Carter Smith
Carter Smith in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
You do not let a cornerback like Malik Muhammad reach slot 97 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 112 on Malachi Lawrence with wide receiver, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 151st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd5 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia in pick No. 178 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick195 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the 195th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick215 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at Round 6, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in the 221st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
A wild overpay on Rueben Owens II in slot 225, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
