Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys let Devonshire fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Jacobs reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Devonshire at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick 56; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 66th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the 73rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at slot 90, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the 138th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in No. 164 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A quiet steal in pick 174: Walter Rouse for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They went early on Curtis Jacobs in No. 186, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
They barely believed it either: M.J. Devonshire still on the board at slot 216. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
They paid sticker price for Tayvion Robinson in the 233rd pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Good price on Donovan Jennings in pick 244, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
