Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Patrick Payton; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 71 spots ahead at pick 177.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stowers. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Cowboys indulged a want in Golday while a need in quarterback and running back stayed open.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Hit on Mansoor Delane and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 30 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Zion Young
They paid a round early for Zion Young in Round 2, Pick 2, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick70 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
They paid sticker price for Chase Bisontis in No. 70, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They barely believed it either: Lee Hunter still on the board at pick No. 87. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A surprising call. With quarterback and running back still to address, they spent the 92nd overall pick on Jake Golday, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick112 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Steal is underselling it; Eli Stowers at the 112th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 VJ Payne
They left a pile of value on the table to take VJ Payne this early at pick 152. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in No. 177 is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
A premium they did not need to pay, Ephesians Prysock a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Aaron Anderson
The board fumbled Aaron Anderson all the way to pick No. 218, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
