Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Cowboys' weekend. D+.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 170 picks early on Jermaine Mathews Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a lockdown presence outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Darius Taylor
In No. 28 they get a bell-cow for the offense, a steep price for the projection.
Pick115 Rnd4 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. at pick 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Malachi Fields
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 155 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Somehow Kage Casey was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tyler Van Dyke
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Van Dyke. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamal Haynes this early at pick No. 229. A need, and now a little less of one.
