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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Michael Pratt; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 53 spots ahead at the 87th overall pick. Put together, it is a D.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. McClellan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 11 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the 23rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 24 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Michael Pratt in No. 87, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Khyree Jackson at slot 108. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
They talked themselves into Hunter Nourzad at slot 132, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick 157 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at No. 159 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 174th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 216th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bub Means
They paid a round early for Bub Means in Round 7, Pick 10, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
A big swing on Ryan Watts at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Steal is underselling it; Jase McClellan at pick No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
