Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

ValueB
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureA
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+. The Cowboys bet big and early on Kedon Slovis, 89 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Put together, it is a D+.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCarthy.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Joe Alt
In slot 13 they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 25 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
They barely believed it either: Amarius Mims still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick66
Rnd3
Zach Frazier
Fair-plus on Zach Frazier, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They paid up for Trey Benson at the 77th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in slot 87, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 88. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96
Rnd3
Malik Washington
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Washington in No. 96. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A reach on McKinnley Jackson in Round 4, Pick 14; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 145th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at the 147th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 174th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in pick 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Zion Logue
Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 13 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
