Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Hayden Conner at the 247th pick is 24 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Walker value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Bech at pick No. 76 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
No drama and no debate, Ty Hamilton went about where he belonged in pick 124. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A reach on Damien Martinez in the 149th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
By-the-book stuff, Jaydon Blue at slot 174 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the 204th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in Round 6, Pick 35 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at slot 217, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zeek Biggers this early at the 239th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick No. 247 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
