Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tony Rojas, 59 picks early at the Round 7 slot. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They have staked the next five years on Fernando Mendoza, which is the only story that really matters here.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. With cornerback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

The Haulcy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In the 12th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 20 they get a three-down second-level presence, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They took Sonny Styles at par in the 36th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Carter Smith
A reach on Carter Smith in No. 67; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in pick 75 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, tight end and other spots to take Caden Curry, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kaytron Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Kaytron Allen at the 99th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Genesis Smith in the 102nd overall pick leaves cornerback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 112 on Bishop Fitzgerald with cornerback, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick150 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They talked themselves into Patrick Payton at Round 5, Pick 12, and the board did not agree. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick177 Rnd5 Dane Key
They paid sticker price for Dane Key in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tony Rojas this early at pick No. 221. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They did well to land J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 225, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in the 246th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
