Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jaylin Simpson, the No. 147 name on the board, stolen at the 174th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If Anderson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan slid further than he should have, and the 35th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 56 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the 104th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
They went early on Beaux Limmer in the 124th pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Neyor. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at pick 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
