Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Mason Fairchild, taking him 57 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Legette.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 40 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slipping to the 66th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A reach on Audric Estime in Round 3, Pick 24; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in slot 90 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 105 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 125th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at pick 137. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A quiet steal in the 138th overall pick: Tommy Eichenberg for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid up for Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Chad Lindberg
A wild overpay on Chad Lindberg in pick 213, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights is a better player than the 220th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 2 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 224th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Fairchild well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
