Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Manning: D.

There is reaching, and then there is Chris Marshall at slot 126. The Cowboys jumped the board by 148 and dared it to prove them wrong. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. So much rides on Arch Manning that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Thompkins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, T'Vondre Sweat leading the way.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get the face of the franchise, reach and all.
Pick11 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Moore at pick No. 11, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick20 Rnd1 Damon Wilson II
A reach for Damon Wilson II in slot 20; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick42 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Somehow Trey'Dez Green was still sitting there in pick 42, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the 47th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jelani McDonald
They read the board right and Jelani McDonald was the payoff at the 60th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63 Rnd2 Anthony Smith
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Smith in Round 2, Pick 31 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick65 Rnd3 Reed Harris
Reed Harris at slot 65 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
They talked themselves into Ben Roberts at the 73rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92 Rnd3 LJ Martin
This one needs a full-page explanation: LJ Martin in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins in pick No. 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at the 110th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Chris Marshall
They reached a country mile for Chris Marshall at No. 126, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
