Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Tate: A.

Somebody in the 80th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Carnell Tate, the No. 29 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Gervon Dexter Sr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In the end it comes back to Spencer Fano, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
They let Spencer Fano come to them and pounced at No. 21. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in the 41st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
The board fumbled Denzel Boston all the way to slot 48, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80 Rnd3 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at pick 80 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They barely believed it either: D'Angelo Ponds still on the board at pick No. 109. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
They will replay Kaytron Allen at Round 4, Pick 15 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the 126th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in pick No. 148 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick177 Rnd6 Lander Barton
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Lander Barton in pick 177, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
