Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Penix Jr.: D-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mason Fairchild at the 244th pick, a reach of 96 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Michael Penix Jr. is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They banked enough surplus on Legette to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 18 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 24th pick they get a long-term answer under center at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 34 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 35 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Nice patience on Ja'Tavion Sanders, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 12. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Junior Colson
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at pick No. 49 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A slide stopped in the 50th pick, with Jordan Morgan worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at slot 53 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Solomon
A wild overpay on Javon Solomon in pick 57, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Justin Eboigbe
Value said wait; Justin Eboigbe in the 71st overall pick says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Davis. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at the 87th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A reach on Mekhi Wingo in slot 90; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at No. 104 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick125 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at Round 5, Pick 2 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A straight-up fair deal on Mason McCormick at pick 145, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fabien Lovett this early at the 147th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the 148th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Harrell in slot 149 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at pick No. 174, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at Round 6, Pick 33. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They paid sticker price for Nathaniel Watson in No. 216, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A big swing on Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick233 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 233rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in pick 237 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Mason Fairchild at slot 244 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 McCallan Castles
They reached into another round for McCallan Castles, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
