Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Zion Logue at No. 220 is 66 spots clear of where he belonged. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. However the rest shakes out, Dixon at that price is a win they earned.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a premier pass rusher. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 24th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In slot 31 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in the 44th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 56 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in slot 92 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at the 96th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
The board had Elijah Jones higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in the 174th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Isaiah Williams
They robbed the room for Isaiah Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220
Rnd6
Zion Logue
Zion Logue in No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at Round 7, Pick 13 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jennings in pick No. 244. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246
Rnd7
Myles Harden
Myles Harden in No. 246 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
