Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with J.J. Weaver at No. 244, a reach of 73 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The Isaac pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Zach Frazier
In slot 23 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 24th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Value with a capital V on Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 56, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Value said wait; Michael Pratt in No. 87 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid up for James Williams at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick No. 114 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Nehemiah Pritchett graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at slot 157, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kendall Milton this early at Round 5, Pick 38. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Beau Brade
Taking Beau Brade in No. 177 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Watts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ryan Watts in pick 216, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bub Means
A premium they did not need to pay, Bub Means a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.J. Weaver well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
