Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the 115th pick regardless, 69 picks early. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman still on the board.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Chambliss at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick28 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malik Muhammad
They liked Malik Muhammad enough to skip the value, taking him in the 49th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Earl Little Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Earl Little Jr. in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at slot 115 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Terry Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 117 on Terry Moore with interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in No. 120 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at the 178th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
The board had cheaper options than Oscar Delp at pick No. 179, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at slot 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
Steal is underselling it; Trinidad Chambliss at pick 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan White
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan White well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
