Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
Manning is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D.

There is reaching, and then there is Jesse Perry at pick No. 116. The Cowboys jumped the board by 38 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Whatever Arch Manning becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Getting Washington where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Arch Manning
Arch Manning at pick No. 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Hampton
In No. 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Boubacar Traore
They jumped the gun on Boubacar Traore, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ryan Wingo
A conviction pick on Ryan Wingo at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson at the 55th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in slot 65 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. in No. 67 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
They paid a round early for Ben Roberts in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Somehow Mark Fletcher Jr. was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 1, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at the 104th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jesse Perry
Jesse Perry in the 116th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Eli Finley
They talked themselves into Eli Finley at slot 128, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
