Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Put together, it is a D.

The Allen pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 18 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 24th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 24, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at pick 74 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A clean, defensible pick in the 80th overall pick with a little surplus value in Junior Colson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in the 124th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 128 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in the 155th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They liked Jordan Jefferson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 161. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
A conviction pick on Julian Pearl at Round 5, Pick 35 that the board grades a round light. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick174 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
They jumped the gun on Josh Proctor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They went early on Jase McClellan in pick No. 201, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 245 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
