Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bet the future on Williams. The board says D.

Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Watson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 3rd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in pick 56, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in Round 3, Pick 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash is a better player than No. 105 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
They read the board right and Tyrice Knight was the payoff at pick No. 125. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in slot 188 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing De'Corian Clark in slot 213. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Value with a capital V on Blake Watson in Round 7, Pick 22, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
