Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
The Etienne reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In the 26th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Trevor Etienne
They reached a country mile for Trevor Etienne at slot 67, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Joshua Gray
They went early on Joshua Gray in the 90th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93
Rnd3
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 3, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99
Rnd4
Denver Harris
Denver Harris at No. 99 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
A premium they did not need to pay, Alfred Collins a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186
Rnd6
Donovan Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Smith at the 186th pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
