Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 186 on Chip Trayanum a full 74 spots early. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Oben is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Ward falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In the 27th pick they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Nic Anderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nic Anderson in the 58th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Trevor Etienne
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Etienne at No. 64, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Miller
They read the board right and Blake Miller was the payoff at pick 91. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 94 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
No edge and no loss on Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 R.J. Oben
A want over a need in pick No. 122: R.J. Oben adds an edge rusher while cornerback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cameron Ward
Circle this one: Cameron Ward at slot 127 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
A reach for Alfred Collins in No. 154; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chip Trayanum
Chip Trayanum at pick 186 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
