Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent pick 158 on Marcus Harris, a name the board had a full 79 spots lower.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. With linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

The Morgan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 9th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value.
Pick21 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
They paid a round early for Xavier Legette in the 26th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at No. 53 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A big swing on Cooper Beebe at pick No. 56, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Brandon Dorlus at edge rusher with linebacker open.
Pick67 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Value with a capital V on Javon Bullard in Round 3, Pick 11, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in pick No. 87 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker to take Tykee Smith, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick107 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 107th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 110th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in slot 122 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A slide stopped in No. 124, with Ainias Smith worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A reach on Drake Nugent in the 136th pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They jumped the gun on Sincere Haynesworth, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They went early on Jaylen Wright in slot 148, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at pick No. 158 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
