Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Peebles should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Aeneas Peebles, the No. 56 name on the board, in the 94th pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jabbar Muhammad
In the 30th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bryson Nesbit
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bryson Nesbit in the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Circle this one: Aeneas Peebles at pick 94 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javontez Spraggins
Javontez Spraggins at slot 126 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at No. 158 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Shawn Murphy
Shawn Murphy in pick No. 190 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in Round 7, Pick 30 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
