Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Jalen McLeod as overpay for him, 41 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Mafah pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 44th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in the 76th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick83 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Cobee Bryant at No. 123 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in pick No. 149 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
A real head-scratcher, Jalen McLeod in pick 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick204 Rnd6 CJ West
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ West at slot 204 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Rogers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
The board fumbled Phil Mafah all the way to the 247th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
