Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D.

The war room fell hard for Chip Trayanum, and it showed at the 186th pick: 92 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Justin Fields pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 14th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 46 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nic Anderson
They paid up for Nic Anderson at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They paid a round early for Nicholas Singleton in slot 78, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 3, Pick 26 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in slot 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
They paid sticker price for Nick Emmanwori in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick154 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
A big swing on Alfred Collins at pick 154, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chip Trayanum
Chip Trayanum in the 186th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
