Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a D- weekend for the Cowboys.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Frank Gore Jr. at No. 231, roughly 37 spots before his name belonged. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The McCormick pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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
Pick4 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
A straight-up fair deal on Olumuyiwa Fashanu at the 4th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick25 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 25 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 27th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Legette went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
A clean, defensible pick in slot 68 with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Value said wait; Cedric Gray in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Fair-plus on Bralen Trice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 103 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in slot 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Somehow Mason McCormick was still sitting there in the 180th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They will replay Ryan Flournoy at Round 6, Pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at pick 231, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Nice patience on Julian Pearl, who had no business lasting to the 244th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Williams
You do not let a safety like Evan Williams reach Round 7, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
