Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Lassiter: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

Lassiter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The board had Amarius Mims higher than Round 2, Pick 2, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in No. 56 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Worthy reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Nothing to complain about; Jalen McMillan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They let Will Shipley come to them and pounced at the 124th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in pick 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in pick 212 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Devin Leary
No edge and no loss on Devin Leary in No. 245; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
