Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Dont'e Thornton Jr. went at pick 149, a good 36 picks before the board was ready.

On value alone, Warren makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at pick No. 38 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They read the board right and Maxwell Hairston was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 12. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 149th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
They let Jalen Rivers come to them and pounced at the 174th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarquez Hunter at pick 204. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
No edge and no loss on Isaac TeSlaa in pick 239; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
