Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Jordan. Final grade: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Jordan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 3rd overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 24 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Fair-plus on Tyler Guyton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at pick 103. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
By-the-book stuff, Sataoa Laumea at No. 124 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Malik Washington
A tidy bit of business in slot 174, where Malik Washington graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick182 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at the 182nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 37. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
The board had Jason Henderson higher than No. 245, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
