Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

Some picks age like wine; RJ Oben at slot 174 will need to, sitting 53 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Reed to cover a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jihaad Campbell in slot 44. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 149th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They jumped the gun on JJ Pegues, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 RJ Oben
RJ Oben in No. 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick 204 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
They liked Desmond Watson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 211. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at the 239th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 31 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
