Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB
Quarterback settled, Dart in the fold, and a D- for the Cowboys. The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Brady Cook, taking him 111 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They have staked the next five years on Jaxson Dart, which is the only story that really matters here. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gordon II.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick25
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 45, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They let Donovan Jackson come to them and pounced at the 76th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 81 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in No. 83 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
They paid a round early for Emery Jones Jr. in No. 111, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
They talked themselves into Sai'vion Jones at pick No. 114, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A wild overpay on Malachi Moore in pick 117, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
They read the board right and Joshua Farmer was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 33, where Bhayshul Tuten graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174
Rnd5
Brady Cook
Brady Cook in slot 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the 204th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick 211 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dante Trader Jr. in No. 239. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
They reached a country mile for Kaden Prather at the 247th pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
