Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: D. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent No. 212 on Maurice Smith, a name the board had a full 33 spots lower. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels in pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 9th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
They jumped the gun on Tyler Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at No. 100 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at pick 124 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
A reach for Michael Barrett in slot 174; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Christian Jones
A reach on Christian Jones in the 188th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Maurice Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maurice Smith in the 212th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Matthew Jones. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 5 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
They paid up for Dwight McGlothern at the 245th pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
