Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureD-
The Cowboys land in the muddy middle: C.

Nobody else had Jordan Travis anywhere near Round 5, Pick 9. The Cowboys did, by 27 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Cooper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

If Jonathon Brooks and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A premium they did not need to pay, Jonathon Brooks a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in pick 56; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to pick No. 64 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in slot 67 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 71st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Gabriel Murphy at Round 3, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in the 90th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at pick 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Travis this early at pick No. 145. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marist Liufau in the 147th overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in No. 174, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
