Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: running back is exactly as bare as it was.

Landing Castell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Hunter has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In pick No. 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Brice Pollock
In pick 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick112 Rnd4 Nyziah Hunter
A reach on Nyziah Hunter in No. 112; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malachi Nelson
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Nelson at the 150th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Boo Carter
They paid sticker price for Boo Carter in Round 5, Pick 39, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Xavier Chaplin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Chaplin in slot 215. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick225 Rnd7 Nick Marsh
Nick Marsh at the 225th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
