Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Adding Brian O'Neill by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 23rd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 56th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in No. 87, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ray Davis
By-the-book stuff, Ray Davis at pick No. 108 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in slot 139. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They read the board right and Sione Vaki was the payoff at pick 174. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
No edge and no loss on Garret Greenfield in pick No. 216; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at No. 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
