Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Shemar Turner, 48 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Allen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 12. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 76th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cody Simon
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to pick No. 149, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Circle this one: LeQuint Allen at No. 171 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ben Sauls in the 174th pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chimere Dike. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Clay Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Clay Webb in pick No. 211, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
They did well to land Mac McWilliams in pick 239, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shemar James
Taking Shemar James in slot 247 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
