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

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 35 picks early on Reed Harris, and the board is going to hold them to it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Nichols pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. They banked enough surplus on Washington to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Boubacar Traore
In pick 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick47 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like A'Mauri Washington reach the 47th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jelani McDonald
Jelani McDonald slid further than he should have, and the 61st overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick65 Rnd3 Reed Harris
They reached a country mile for Reed Harris at slot 65, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Austin Simmons
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Simmons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dom Nichols
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dom Nichols at edge rusher with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick100 Rnd3 Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke in the 100th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tony Rojas
They paid up for Tony Rojas at the 126th pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Jackson in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
