Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys let Burke fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Denzel Burke, pick No. 87, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged. Call it a C and check back in two years.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will need Capehart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

If Adonai Mitchell and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
They liked Adonai Mitchell enough to skip the value, taking him in the 24th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They went early on Jonathon Brooks in No. 61, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to pick 87, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick No. 99 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Junior Colson
The board had cheaper options than Junior Colson at Round 4, Pick 4, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kedon Slovis
They jumped the gun on Kedon Slovis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
They paid sticker price for Aki Ogunbiyi in the 174th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jase McClellan at the 207th overall pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maurice Smith well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick233 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in pick 233, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in the 241st pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Troy Omeire
They left a pile of value on the table to take Troy Omeire this early at Round 7, Pick 25. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
