Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueD NeedB TradesF FutureD
Conviction outran the board for the Cowboys, and it cost them: F.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jermaine Mathews Jr., 105 picks early at the 79th overall pick.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Chambliss falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left offensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In the 16th overall pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all.
Pick22 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 22 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Earl Little Jr.
They reached into another round for Earl Little Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jermaine Mathews Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mark Fletcher Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mark Fletcher Jr. in pick 116, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in the 151st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A conviction pick on Oscar Delp at pick No. 178 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
They barely believed it either: Trinidad Chambliss still on the board at Round 7, Pick 3. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at No. 228 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
