Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 74 spots for Jaylen Harrell, and value like that does not grow back. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Harrell pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick15
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 15 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick 24 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 44th overall pick, where Brian Thomas Jr. graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick46
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Graham Barton in Round 2, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in slot 56. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68
Rnd3
Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in the 68th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A conviction pick on Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at the 87th pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at No. 109 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slipping to pick 114 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jaylen Harrell
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaylen Harrell adds an edge rusher and leaves tight end untouched.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 144, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the 163rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slid further than he should have, and No. 174 is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 216 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
