Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaishawn Barham; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 54 spots ahead at pick 74. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with quarterback and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Golday falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 9 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick29 Rnd1 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
In the 29th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
A real head-scratcher, Jaishawn Barham in slot 74 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A want over a need in the 87th pick: Caden Curry adds an edge rusher while quarterback and running back keeps waiting.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and running back to take Jake Golday, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick112 Rnd4 Julian Neal
They took Julian Neal at par in pick No. 112, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright at the 177th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at pick 218 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
