Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureA
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Williams: D. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Cowboys, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. On value alone, Williams makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Isaac is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.
Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In pick No. 4 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
JC Latham
In slot 27 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
A running back of that caliber at No. 66 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in the 67th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Adisa Isaac adds an edge rusher and leaves cornerback and tight end untouched.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in Round 3, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
They paid sticker price for Jalen McMillan in slot 100, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams at the 174th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
The board fumbled Daijun Edwards all the way to No. 216, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233
Rnd7
Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick No. 233 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Whittington at the 244th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
