Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Stewart should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Josaiah Stewart fell into the Round 7 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 13 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at slot 78 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the 148th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 171st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Milum still on the board at pick 189. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 209th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at No. 248 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
