Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: C+.

Nobody had Isaac Guerendo this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 53 spots to get him at the 242nd pick. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Ford steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Powers-Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They read the board right and Roman Wilson was the payoff at pick 87. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Nice patience on Jaylen Wright, who had no business lasting to the 173rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They barely believed it either: Jaylan Ford still on the board at the 213th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at Round 7, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
