Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
A passer of the future in Manning, and a D, for the Cowboys. 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. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.
They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. So much rides on Arch Manning that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Landing Washington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Arch Manning
A straight-up fair deal on Arch Manning at the 6th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick18
Rnd1
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at No. 18 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick20
Rnd1
Will Heldt
Will Heldt at the Round 1 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick28
Rnd1
Trey'Dez Green
In pick No. 28 they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at slot 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45
Rnd2
Ryan Wingo
They jumped the gun on Ryan Wingo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They let Kenyatta Jackson Jr. come to them and pounced at pick 65. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Reed Harris
No edge and no loss on Reed Harris in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Ben Roberts
A reach for Ben Roberts in No. 80; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81
Rnd3
Mark Fletcher Jr.
A slide stopped in the 81st pick, with Mark Fletcher Jr. worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Zereoue Williams
They reached a country mile for Zereoue Williams at slot 107, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Tyrique Tucker
Tyrique Tucker at pick No. 128 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
