Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Cowboys let Howell fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cashius Howell, the No. 24 name on the board, stolen at pick 225. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 David Bailey
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in slot 58, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane in pick 112 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
The board fumbled Jermod McCoy all the way to the 126th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick177 Rnd5 Spencer Fano
You do not let an offensive lineman like Spencer Fano reach No. 177 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson at the 181st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at the 221st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cashius Howell
Taking Cashius Howell in No. 225 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
