Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureA
Quarterback settled, Maiava in the fold, and a D for the Cowboys. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took T.J. Moore at Round 3, Pick 4 regardless, 49 picks early.
The whole projection now runs through Jayden Maiava; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
On value alone, Washington makes the weekend a net positive.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Dylan Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get juice off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick10
Rnd1
Jayden Maiava
In pick 10 they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Kelley Jones
In pick No. 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Trey'Dez Green
Trey'Dez Green in the 37th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick45
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the 45th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Value said wait; Quincy Rhodes Jr. in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ryan Wingo
Ryan Wingo in pick No. 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
T.J. Moore
A wild overpay on T.J. Moore in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78
Rnd3
LJ Martin
A big swing on LJ Martin at No. 78, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105
Rnd4
Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at Round 4, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tyrique Tucker
They reached into another round for Tyrique Tucker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jesse Perry
Jesse Perry at pick 130 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
