Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 174th pick lands the Cowboys a B, Smith and all.

It is a puzzling start. The Cowboys had quarterback, running back and other spots to solve and reached instead for Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE, at the 93rd overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Cohen has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
Good price on Kamari Lassiter in No. 30, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 62nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They paid a round early for Javion Cohen in the 130th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at Round 5, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Magee at pick No. 212 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A clean, defensible pick in pick 251 with a little surplus value in Evan Williams. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
