Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
Manning is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the Round 3 slot is 48 spots clear of where he belonged. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The whole projection now runs through Arch Manning; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

The Rhodes Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In pick No. 6 they get a problem off the edge. More want than need.
Pick13 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In the 13th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In the 27th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Bear Alexander
They paid a round early for Bear Alexander in slot 46, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jelani McDonald
A straight-up fair deal on Jelani McDonald at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63 Rnd2 Reed Harris
A big swing on Reed Harris at No. 63, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
A want over a need in the 65th pick: Quincy Rhodes Jr. adds an edge rusher while cornerback keeps waiting.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
They paid up for Ben Roberts at Round 3, Pick 11 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 LJ Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take LJ Martin this early at pick No. 86. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Sprague
Fair-plus on Andrew Sprague, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brody Foley
Brody Foley at No. 111 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin at pick 124 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
