Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys bet the future on Mateer. The board says D.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but John Mateer at pick 11 is 62 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. John Mateer is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking safety early while offensive lineman and tight end went begging.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Neal.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, offensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 John Mateer
In No. 11 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 12th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at pick No. 43 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A reach on Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 48; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman and tight end to take Zakee Wheatley, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 75th pick on Jake Golday with offensive lineman and tight end unsolved.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They paid sticker price for Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 87, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They let Julian Neal come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick 112 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chase Roberts. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 177th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at Round 5, Pick 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
Nice patience on Evan Stewart, who had no business lasting to slot 221. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Daevin Hobbs in slot 225, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
