Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Mendoza: D.

There is reaching, and then there is Caden Curry at the 67th overall pick. The Cowboys jumped the board by 65 and dared it to prove them wrong. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Boerkircher value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick6 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They went early on Gennings Dunker in Round 2, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in slot 39 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Value said wait; Caden Curry in pick 67 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Fields at pick No. 87 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in pick No. 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid up for Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 92 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
The board had cheaper options than Tacario Davis at slot 102, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at Round 4, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
A premium they did not need to pay, Mason Reiger a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 152nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 180th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
They jumped the gun on Jeremiah Wright, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
