Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Vincent Anthony Jr., 87 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Green steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In slot 18 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 20th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They read the board right and Olaivavega Ioane was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A surprising call. With tight end and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick 60 on Kenyatta Jackson Jr., an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy slid further than he should have, and pick No. 75 is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jake Golday adds an edge rusher and leaves tight end and interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
By-the-book stuff, Nicholas Singleton at the 90th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 27. Tight end and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; an edge rusher in Vincent Anthony Jr. did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in pick 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Nice patience on Chase Roberts, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A tidy little value on Xavier Nwankpa in slot 178, a step better than break-even. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick195 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 195 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tony Grimes in the 215th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
The board had cheaper options than Fernando Carmona at No. 221, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
A conviction pick on Marquis Johnson at the 225th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
