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

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Jalen McLeod, 41 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

On value alone, Edwards makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
They took Tetairoa McMillan at par in slot 12, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson is a better player than Round 2, Pick 24 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Fair-plus on Omarr Norman-Lott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Phillips at pick No. 109, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick 149 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the 174th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at No. 211 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Karene Reid
They paid sticker price for Karene Reid in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in slot 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They paid a round early for Jaylin Smith in pick No. 247, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
