Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Chip Trayanum; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at the 186th pick. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 30 they get a bendy edge with upside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 58th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A big swing on Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 3, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Trevor Etienne
No edge and no loss on Trevor Etienne in slot 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 122 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
A premium they did not need to pay, Alfred Collins a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chip Trayanum
Value said wait; Chip Trayanum in pick No. 186 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
