Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D+.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

Arch Manning gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Heldt has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Laloulu. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In pick 4 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick6 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Heldt
In the 20th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick37 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey'Dez Green at Round 2, Pick 5 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Reed Harris
Reed Harris at No. 45 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jelani McDonald
Good price on Jelani McDonald in pick No. 65, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bear Alexander. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Lance Heard
They read the board right and Lance Heard was the payoff at slot 68. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
Ben Roberts at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 LJ Martin
They took LJ Martin at par in No. 108, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
They paid sticker price for Mike Matthews in Round 4, Pick 23, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 130 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
