Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Bailey: B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Emani Bailey fell into pick No. 212. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The cost of the Taylor III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 26 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick71 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They liked McKinnley Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 24 with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 89, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A wild overpay on Leonard Taylor III in No. 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Fair-plus on Kris Abrams-Draine, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Curtis Jacobs. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
A running back of that caliber at the 212th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry at the 245th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They did well to land Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
