Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Chip Trayanum, taking him 106 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Davis falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In No. 19 they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones
Emery Jones at the 26th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at slot 51 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
They paid sticker price for Danny Stutsman in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62
Rnd2
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at Round 2, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
The board had Andrew Mukuba higher than pick No. 83, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick90
Rnd3
Raheim Sanders
They paid a round early for Raheim Sanders in pick 90, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92
Rnd3
J. Michael Sturdivant
They talked themselves into J. Michael Sturdivant at the 92nd pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Cameron Ward
A quiet steal in No. 93: Cameron Ward for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122
Rnd4
Alfred Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alfred Collins in pick No. 122, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154
Rnd5
Chip Trayanum
Chip Trayanum at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
