Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a D+, for the Cowboys. The war room fell hard for Marcus Harris, and it showed at pick No. 174: 63 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Put together, it is a D+.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. The Abrams-Draine pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 24 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In pick 27 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
They read the board right and Jordan Morgan was the payoff at the 35th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 59 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 64 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in pick 66 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 68th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 7, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at slot 75 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 85th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
A slide stopped in pick No. 95, with Marist Liufau worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick 110 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 123 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
A conviction pick on Jordan Travis at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James at the 127th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 133 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
They barely believed it either: Kris Abrams-Draine still on the board at the 164th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in Round 5, Pick 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick177
Rnd6
Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in No. 177 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Maurice Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maurice Smith well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
A tidy bit of business in pick 226, where Jase McClellan graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They paid sticker price for Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 19, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in the 245th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
