Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
C-
ValueA+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys bet the future on Mendoza. The board says C-. You build a draft on nights like this. Kenyon Sadiq had no business being available in pick 185, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A mixed bag that lands at C-.
Everything downstream of Fernando Mendoza depends on Fernando Mendoza, and the building knows it. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Maxx Crosby leading the way.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza in Round 1, Pick 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick20
Rnd1
David Bailey
In pick No. 20 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick30
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love in the 36th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kayden McDonald reach Round 2, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 67 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Carnell Tate
Circle this one: Carnell Tate at slot 90 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92
Rnd3
Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano at the 92nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jermod McCoy
They will replay Jermod McCoy at pick 102 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at pick No. 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jordyn Tyson
Taking Jordyn Tyson in pick 117 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175
Rnd5
Chase Bisontis
The board fumbled Chase Bisontis all the way to Round 5, Pick 35, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177
Rnd5
Akheem Mesidor
They robbed the room for Akheem Mesidor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick180
Rnd5
Colton Hood
Colton Hood in the 180th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Kenyon Sadiq
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in No. 185, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
They barely believed it either: Lee Hunter still on the board at pick No. 208. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at slot 218 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219
Rnd7
Romello Height
A edge rusher of that caliber at slot 219 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
