Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureC
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D-. The war room fell hard for Trey Holly, and it showed at pick 221: 99 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. On value alone, Stowers makes the weekend a net positive.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
David Bailey
In pick No. 12 they get a problem off the edge. More want than need.
Pick47
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
A straight-up fair deal on D'Angelo Ponds at pick 47, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
No drama and no debate, Lee Hunter went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 27. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 70th pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Rodriguez at No. 87, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in slot 111 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
No edge and no loss on Bryce Lance in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120
Rnd4
Gracen Halton
A wild overpay on Gracen Halton in pick 120, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Louis Moore
Louis Moore in Round 5, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the 153rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177
Rnd5
Bud Clark
A big swing on Bud Clark at pick No. 177, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick199
Rnd6
Charles Jagusah
By-the-book stuff, Charles Jagusah at the 199th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Noah Whittington
They paid up for Noah Whittington at No. 215 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221
Rnd7
Trey Holly
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Holly in slot 221, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225
Rnd7
Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz at Round 7, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254
Rnd7
Haynes King
They left a pile of value on the table to take Haynes King this early at No. 254. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
