Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
McCarthy is the Cowboys' new face under center. Grade: D.

Some picks age like wine; Marcus Harris at slot 213 will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Everything downstream of J.J. McCarthy depends on J.J. McCarthy, and the building knows it.

It is not that Braswell is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. McCarthy this early at slot 24. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 27th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A big swing on T'Vondre Sweat at No. 35, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick47 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid a round early for Edgerrin Cooper in pick 47, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A curious use of pick No. 56. Cornerback needed the pick; an edge rusher in Chris Braswell did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A premium they did not need to pay, Cooper Beebe a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They did well to land Trey Benson in the 75th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in pick 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached a country mile for Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 90, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback to take Darius Robinson, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick111 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 111 on Justin Eboigbe with cornerback unsolved.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Nothing to complain about; Malik Washington went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 173 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick213 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the 213th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 2, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jase McClellan. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A conviction pick on Matthew Jones at No. 242 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
