Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D-.

Some picks age like wine; Trey Moore at pick 113 will need to, sitting 129 spots clear of his grade.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Starks. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 5 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 13 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Smael Mondon Jr.
They paid sticker price for Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value said wait; Deone Walker in the 70th overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at the 77th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113 Rnd4 Trey Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Trey Moore in pick No. 113 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 151st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
A premium they did not need to pay, Gunnar Helm a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick172 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 6, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at pick 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
