Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Blake Watson. He came off 72 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They banked enough surplus on Wallace to cover a lot of smaller sins. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

So much rides on Jordan Morgan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 64 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in pick 81; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid up for Christian Mahogany at slot 87 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 173 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevin Wallace. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Blake Watson
A big swing on Blake Watson at the 216th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at slot 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Taking Caedan Wallace in pick 244 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
The board had cheaper options than Trey Taylor at the 252nd pick, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
