Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

There is reaching, and then there is Mason Fairchild at No. 245. The Cowboys jumped the board by 54 and dared it to prove them wrong. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They banked enough surplus on Colson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 28 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and pick 40 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in the 42nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They paid a round early for Tyler Davis in the 87th pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at No. 99 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
The board fumbled Mike Sainristil all the way to slot 102, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A slide stopped in the 124th pick, with Ray Davis worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Good price on Austin Booker in pick No. 162, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 174th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
No edge and no loss on Jase McClellan in Round 6, Pick 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A real head-scratcher, Dwight McGlothern in the 230th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Mason Fairchild at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
