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

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Melkart Abou Jaoude at pick No. 109 regardless, 65 picks early.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. On value alone, Alexander makes the weekend a net positive.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 7th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the 12th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Damon Wilson II
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Trey'Dez Green in pick No. 41, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47 Rnd2 T.J. Moore
A conviction pick on T.J. Moore at slot 47 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Quincy Rhodes Jr. in No. 63 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick72 Rnd3 Austin Simmons
They jumped the gun on Austin Simmons, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
Ben Roberts at pick 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
They robbed the room for Bear Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 LJ Martin
They reached a country mile for LJ Martin at Round 3, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Melkart Abou Jaoude
They left a pile of value on the table to take Melkart Abou Jaoude this early at the 109th pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Paige
They reached into another round for Elijah Paige, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Marcus Neal Jr.
Circle this one: Marcus Neal Jr. at the 145th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
