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

Nobody else had Sam Hartman anywhere near pick 183. The Cowboys did, by 100 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Tyjae Spears pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get juice off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 24th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Amarius Mims for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick38 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in pick No. 38. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 87th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They went early on Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey is a better player than slot 173 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 183rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at No. 184 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221 Rnd7 Logan Lee
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Lee in pick 221, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
