Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

Nobody had Derrick Moore this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 43 spots to get him at pick No. 112.

The Robinson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane in slot 13 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 CJ Allen
By-the-book stuff, CJ Allen at No. 40 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at pick 112 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Nice patience on Jude Bowry, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
A tidy little value on J'Mari Taylor in the 177th pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They liked Xavier Nwankpa enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 181. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick221 Rnd7 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in Round 7, Pick 5 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Good price on Isaiah Nwokobia in pick No. 225, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
