Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a D- for the Cowboys.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Johnny Dixon got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 33. 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 Ford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 24 they get a problem off the edge. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at pick 56. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at the 69th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They reached a country mile for Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Maason Smith
By-the-book stuff, Maason Smith at the 105th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at slot 110 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They jumped the gun on Jase McClellan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They reached into another round for Michael Barrett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They let Tanner McLachlan come to them and pounced at the 225th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in No. 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Circle this one: Garret Greenfield at slot 244 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at pick 253 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
