Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys let Mesidor fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Akheem Mesidor, the No. 56 name on the board, sitting there at the 215th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 21st pick they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
You do not let an offensive lineman like Spencer Fano reach pick 49 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at pick No. 97 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Carnell Tate
The board fumbled Carnell Tate all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
They robbed the room for Jermod McCoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in slot 150 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at the 177th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick215 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at No. 215 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the 221st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kaytron Allen
Steal is underselling it; Kaytron Allen at slot 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
