Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for David Walker. He came off 103 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Klubnik at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slid further than he should have, and pick 35 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deontae Lawson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at slot 76 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 85th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cade Klubnik in No. 109, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 112th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at No. 117 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick No. 119 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They paid sticker price for Lathan Ransom in pick 145, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Antwane Wells Jr.
No edge and no loss on Antwane Wells Jr. in the 155th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aeneas Peebles this early at slot 169. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jared Ivey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Ivey. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick171 Rnd5 David Walker
They reached a country mile for David Walker at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick192 Rnd6 Logan Parr
A reach on Logan Parr in the 192nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bryan Felter
Bryan Felter in the 208th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
