Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureF
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Tyson: F. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordyn Tyson, the 251st overall pick, roughly 242 picks past where he belonged. It bottoms out at a F.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In No. 12 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick20
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
David Bailey
David Bailey at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 91st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Carnell Tate
Steal is underselling it; Carnell Tate at pick 111 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112
Rnd4
Mansoor Delane
Taking Mansoor Delane in the 112th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114
Rnd4
Kayden McDonald
They barely believed it either: Kayden McDonald still on the board at slot 114. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cashius Howell
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cashius Howell adds an edge rusher and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jonah Coleman
A running back of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166
Rnd5
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in No. 166 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177
Rnd5
Chase Bisontis
Circle this one: Chase Bisontis at the 177th pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jordyn Tyson
You do not let a wide receiver like Jordyn Tyson reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Romello Height
The board fumbled Romello Height all the way to pick No. 255, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in pick 257 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
