Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Cowboys never got to the one that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Wagner to cover a lot of smaller sins. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 13th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in pick 21 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in Round 4, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in No. 152. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A clean, defensible pick in the 179th overall pick with a little surplus value in Xavier Nwankpa. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick181 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Aamil Wagner at pick No. 181. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at slot 217 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick228 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
By-the-book stuff, Peyton Bowen at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
