Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B

FutureD
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. Nobody had Drew Allar this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 47 spots to get him at the 112th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Hall pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick No. 12 they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deontae Lawson in the 92nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 112th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
No edge and no loss on Jaeden Roberts in No. 152; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177
Rnd5
Taylen Green
They jumped the gun on Taylen Green, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at pick 180 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Anez Cooper
Nothing to complain about; Anez Cooper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192
Rnd6
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at No. 192 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193
Rnd6
Keagen Trost
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keagen Trost at the 193rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski at pick 218 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246
Rnd7
Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Latrell McCutchin Sr. is a better player than slot 246 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256
Rnd7
TJ Hall
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, TJ Hall in pick No. 256, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
