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

Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end and interior defensive lineman still on the board. Reaching for Gentry left real value on the table behind him.

The Prather steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Hit on Adonai Mitchell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They paid a round early for Jonathon Brooks in the 57th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 87 on Maason Smith with tight end and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 103. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A tidy little value on Michael Pratt in pick 112, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 24. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
No edge and no loss on Delmar Glaze in the 174th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nothing to complain about; Jaylan Ford went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They did well to land Josh Proctor in the 206th pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick212 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the 212th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kaden Prather in No. 224, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric Gentry. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
