Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a D+ for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys bet big and early on J.J. Weaver, 134 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

The Carter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 1 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 17 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 17 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the 89th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick101 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 101 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Steal is underselling it; Elic Ayomanor at the 126th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander slipping to pick No. 140 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 148 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at slot 168 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 James Burnip
Value with a capital V on James Burnip in Round 5, Pick 33, a genuine coup. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in the 173rd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in slot 209 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick248 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A big swing on Graham Mertz at pick 248, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
