Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D.

The war room fell hard for Sam Hartman, and it showed at pick No. 174: 84 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Gray makes the weekend a net positive.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 3 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 8 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
They reached a country mile for Spencer Rattler at the 56th pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 68th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They paid a round early for Christian Mahogany in pick No. 87, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 137th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in slot 143 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in the Round 5 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 216 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They read the board right and Trey Knox was the payoff at the 233rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at pick 244, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
