Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D-.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 244 on Darrian Dalcourt a full 108 spots early. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 25 they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Morgan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in the 56th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Max Melton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Melton in pick 58, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 87 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They reached a country mile for Cedric Gray at pick No. 88, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 James Williams
James Williams at slot 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at No. 126, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in Round 5, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaheim Bell at pick 174. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
They reached into another round for Solomon Byrd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick211 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They jumped the gun on Gabe Hall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Somehow Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was still sitting there in No. 216, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They paid sticker price for Jaden Crumedy in pick No. 219, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emani Bailey well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Darrian Dalcourt
A real head-scratcher, Darrian Dalcourt in the 244th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at Round 7, Pick 31 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in pick 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
