Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys. The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 174th pick on Jaylan Ford a full 41 spots early. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The whole projection now runs through J.J. McCarthy; hit there and everything else looks smarter.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In slot 24 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in the 34th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
Fair-plus on Malachi Corley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick64
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 64 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in Round 3, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the 87th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 93rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They went early on Braelon Allen in pick 103, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Brennan Jackson at No. 114, and it noticed. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at pick No. 116 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A conviction pick on Tommy Eichenberg at the 137th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at slot 153 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
A real head-scratcher, Jaylan Ford in Round 5, Pick 38 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd6
Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eyabi Okie-Anoma this early at the Round 6 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
