Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B+.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Davis, taking him 126 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The McCaffrey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in slot 26 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Somehow Patrick Paul was still sitting there in No. 87, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mekhi Wingo at the 118th pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 20 with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in pick 124 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at the 149th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 158, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick172 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They took Layden Robinson at par in slot 172, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 176 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at Round 6, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They robbed the room for Marist Liufau here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
The board fumbled Curtis Jacobs all the way to the 216th overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Myles Murphy worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis at the 235th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Strachan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Strachan. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
