Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Phillip Webb, 122 picks early at pick 171.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Skattebo. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Spending an early pick on safety with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 13 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A quiet steal in the 33rd pick: Luther Burden III for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Taaffe in No. 78, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Malachi Moore in pick 104 leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick168 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 168 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in Round 5, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at slot 171 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They reached into another round for Miles Frazier, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 209 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Value said wait; Joey Slackman in the 248th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
