Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
F
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureD-
The Cowboys let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: F. The Oronde Gadsden II pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 43 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
However the rest shakes out, Mondon Jr. at that price is a win they earned. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with wide receiver open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with wide receiver still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick13
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick23
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In slot 23 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Milroe in pick 35, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 44th overall pick on Landon Jackson with wide receiver unsolved.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in Round 3, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick109
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 109 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151
Rnd5
Harold Perkins Jr.
They will replay Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 151 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 169, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 170th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Nwankpa. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 188 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in Round 6, Pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in slot 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at No. 232, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
