Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The Clark pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

So much rides on Mansoor Delane that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick 12 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Parker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 86th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They paid sticker price for Jaeden Roberts in slot 112, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Bud Clark
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bud Clark. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174 Rnd5 Josh Moten
No drama and no debate, Josh Moten went about where he belonged in the 174th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Isaiah Nwokobia
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Nwokobia in No. 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick215 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in pick 215 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jack Velling
Jack Velling at slot 221 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
By-the-book stuff, Ahmaad Moses at No. 225 squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
