Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
Dart is the Cowboys' new face under center. Grade: D. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tonka Hemingway at the 211th overall pick, a reach of 46 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
On value alone, Moore makes the weekend a net positive. Jaxson Dart gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
They will answer for taking safety early while cornerback and tight end went begging. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
They reached into another round for Jaxson Dart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick35
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nice patience on Nick Emmanwori, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 3. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 51 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tre Harris
They read the board right and Tre Harris was the payoff at pick 57. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kyle Kennard
A premium they did not need to pay, Kyle Kennard a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 76th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They will replay Deone Walker at pick No. 85 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
They reached a country mile for Shemar Turner at No. 102, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ajani Cornelius
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with cornerback and tight end open.
Pick150
Rnd5
Kobe King
Kobe King in Round 5, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in the 170th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick 172 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Damien Martinez at the Round 5 slot is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190
Rnd6
Lander Barton
Somehow Lander Barton was still sitting there in the 190th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in Round 6, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to pick No. 249, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
