Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D.

The Mason Fairchild selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 43 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Landing Oladapo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach on J.J. McCarthy in the 36th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 40 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 56th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Good price on Jonathon Brooks in No. 67, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in pick 68, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Nothing to complain about; Mike Sainristil went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kitan Oladapo at the 174th pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at pick No. 212 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Harris at pick 223, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in slot 245 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 246th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Value said wait; Mason Fairchild in Round 7, Pick 27 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
