You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

So much rides on Quinn Ewers that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Dart. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
