Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Moore at the 151st overall pick regardless, 112 picks early. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
The Mondon Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
Spending an early pick on safety with cornerback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 14 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 26 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59
Rnd2
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at Round 2, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They reached a country mile for Jake Majors at the 67th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in No. 76 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
A surprising call. With cornerback and tight end still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Kevin Winston Jr., a safety they were not short of.
Pick128
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach the 128th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151
Rnd5
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at pick 151 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in Round 5, Pick 30 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in slot 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tonka Hemingway this early at pick No. 171. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the 190th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 209 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
