Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Vincent Anthony Jr. at slot 153 regardless, 40 picks early.

The Arnold pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. With cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 David Bailey
In No. 13 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Joshua Josephs in the 24th pick leaves cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick113 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Justice Haynes at Round 4, Pick 13 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick No. 153 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
The board had Jaden Greathouse higher than pick 178, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Lander Barton
They went early on Lander Barton in slot 179, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Makhi Hughes
A reasonable price with a little left over, Makhi Hughes in pick 217. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jackson Arnold
Taking Jackson Arnold in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
