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

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Connor Lew, the No. 65 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 33 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The White reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Adding Jalen Nailor by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 20 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles is a better player than the 49th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Taking Connor Lew in pick No. 97 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
No edge and no loss on Bishop Fitzgerald in No. 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A clean, defensible pick in the 178th pick with a little surplus value in Taylen Green. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in pick 195 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
They paid sticker price for Brandon Inniss in No. 215, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan White
They paid a round early for Jordan White in pick No. 225, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
