Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureD
The Cowboys jumped the board for Jones Jr. and paid for it: F.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Marvin Jones Jr. at slot 254, a reach of 82 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They banked enough surplus on Lance to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 26 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In slot 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They read the board right and Anthony Hill Jr. was the payoff at the 47th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
A conviction pick on Josiah Trotter at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Rodriguez at pick 74 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
A quiet steal in No. 78: Dontay Corleone for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in slot 92 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keylan Rutledge this early at Round 3, Pick 30. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 J.C. Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.C. Davis well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jack Endries
A real head-scratcher, Jack Endries in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick No. 108 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at the 111th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the 112th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in Round 4, Pick 13 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They barely believed it either: Bryce Lance still on the board at pick No. 120. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
Nice patience on De'Zhaun Stribling, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick 127 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
This one needs a full-page explanation: Beau Stephens in slot 132, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Matt Gulbin
Value said wait; Matt Gulbin in No. 133 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at the 135th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Keagen Trost
They talked themselves into Keagen Trost at pick 136, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Campbell. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A reach for Mikail Kamara in Round 4, Pick 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at the 146th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
They took Skyler Gill-Howard at par in slot 148, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
No drama and no debate, Tim Keenan III went about where he belonged in No. 149. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Albert Regis in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jakobe Thomas at pick No. 154. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick158 Rnd5 Louis Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Louis Moore. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They went early on Bryce Boettcher in pick 159, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They jumped the gun on Kaleb Elarms-Orr, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 22, with Kaytron Allen worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Bobby Jamison-Travis
They reached a country mile for Bobby Jamison-Travis at the 165th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Malik Benson in slot 166 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Josh Cameron
They paid a round early for Josh Cameron in the 168th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
A premium they did not need to pay, Dae'Quan Wright a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Taking Charles Demmings in the 172nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 VJ Payne
A big swing on VJ Payne at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady at slot 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Value with a capital V on Nate Boerkircher in No. 176, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Dalton Johnson
A wild overpay on Dalton Johnson in pick No. 177, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick180 Rnd5 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. at Round 5, Pick 40 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
They will replay Tanner Koziol at pick 182 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
They paid up for Jimmy Rolder at pick 210 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
They liked Aiden Fisher enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 2. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in pick No. 233 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 235th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick236 Rnd7 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart in the 236th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at No. 238 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at slot 254 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.
