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

The Cowboys did not so much draft Zion Logue as overpay for him, 53 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Barton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 3 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 24th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
They read the board right and Amarius Mims was the payoff at pick 34. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
The board fumbled Graham Barton all the way to pick No. 56, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A quiet steal in the 68th overall pick: Xavier Worthy for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Payton Wilson reach Round 3, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
The board had Jonah Elliss higher than Round 3, Pick 33, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick114 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid a round early for Tommy Eichenberg in No. 136, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
They talked themselves into Nelson Ceaser at the 145th pick, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
The board had cheaper options than Dwight McGlothern at pick 147, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at slot 174 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in pick No. 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in the 233rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
