GRMJR DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

Draft Grade — Cowboys

TradesF
FutureA
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. There is reaching, and then there is Mason Fairchild at the 245th pick. The Cowboys jumped the board by 55 and dared it to prove them wrong.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. However the rest shakes out, Bullard at that price is a win they earned. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the 24th overall pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Brandon Dorlus
Value said wait; Brandon Dorlus in the Round 2 slot says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in slot 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at Round 2, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 56 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 2 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71
Rnd3
D.J. James
A slide stopped in pick 71, with D.J. James worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 87th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marist Liufau in No. 100. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at the 102nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 124 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylen Wright
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylen Wright at pick No. 174. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 212th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
They talked themselves into Dwight McGlothern at pick 223, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245
Rnd7
Mason Fairchild
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Fairchild well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
