Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Patrick Payton, 58 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Wheatley pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
A conviction pick on Caleb Lomu at pick 25 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 27 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nothing to complain about; Nyck Harbor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They paid sticker price for A.J. Haulcy in the 76th pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They took Domonique Orange at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Zakee Wheatley in slot 97 leaves tight end for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Good price on Kaytron Allen in the 112th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They liked Tacario Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A big swing on Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick 156, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nico Iamaleava. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Payton well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick179 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Nwankpa a notch or two before his time. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at Round 6, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
