Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Webb reach set the tone, and the Cowboys never recovered: F.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Phillip Webb a full 114 spots early. It bottoms out at a F.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Landing Dotson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A slide stopped in slot 33, with Jalon Walker worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emeka Egbuka at the 36th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
A reach for Dylan Sampson in pick 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 19, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas is a better player than No. 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 3, Pick 6 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mason Taylor in the 82nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ozzy Trapilo in No. 94. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
A quiet steal in the 113th overall pick: Jaylin Noel for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They went early on Cody Simon in pick 121, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid sticker price for Bhayshul Tuten in slot 150, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They will replay Mello Dotson at No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
They paid up for Alex Mastromanno at pick 199 when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 210th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick211 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in pick No. 211 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in the 236th pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook in Round 7, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
