Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harden.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 8 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 32 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A tidy bit of business in slot 43, where Ladd McConkey graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nothing to complain about; T'Vondre Sweat went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in the 64th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in the 74th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick79 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They paid sticker price for Austin Booker in pick No. 79, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Value with a capital V on Blake Corum in the 96th pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in pick 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
The board had Jaylan Ford higher than slot 216, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Myles Harden
The board fumbled Myles Harden all the way to the 244th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
