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

Some picks age like wine; Jamari Lyons at the 221st pick will need to, sitting 107 spots clear of his grade. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Cowboys indulged a want in Banks while a need in cornerback and tight end stayed open. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Wheatley steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In pick 12 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick16 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Caleb Banks adds an edge rusher and leaves cornerback and tight end untouched.
Pick20 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 John Mateer
A real head-scratcher, John Mateer in the 44th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the 65th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Cornerback and tight end needed the pick; a safety in Zakee Wheatley did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A want over a need in No. 112: Jalon Kilgore adds a safety while cornerback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
No drama and no debate, Chase Roberts went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 12. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 LJ Martin
They read the board right and LJ Martin was the payoff at pick 177. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor is a better player than the 181st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons at pick No. 221 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Daevin Hobbs well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
