Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in David Ugwoegbu, taking him 96 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

However the rest shakes out, Jackson at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 24 they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at slot 56, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 64th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A quiet steal in the 114th overall pick: Braelon Allen for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They barely believed it either: Khyree Jackson still on the board at Round 4, Pick 16. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 153 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
A wild overpay on Nathaniel Watson in No. 174, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at slot 216 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
A big swing on David Ugwoegbu at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster logic is harder to follow.
