Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The Clowney reach set the tone, and the Cowboys never recovered: F.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Demon Clowney at slot 240, roughly 95 spots before his name belonged.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 20th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 21st pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick No. 26 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In pick 31 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 49th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in pick 59, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
A quiet steal in pick No. 74: Kamari Ramsey for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keionte Scott in Round 3, Pick 11. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zakee Wheatley. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick82 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Nice patience on Domonique Orange, who had no business lasting to No. 82. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A conviction pick on Caden Curry at the 94th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid sticker price for Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 95, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Markel Bell
A straight-up fair deal on Markel Bell at pick No. 97, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in Round 4, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Somehow Malik Muhammad was still sitting there in the 109th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Joe Royer
The board had Joe Royer higher than the Round 4 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A tidy bit of business in No. 128, where Bryce Lance graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at pick 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at slot 146 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
They let Ted Hurst come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Quinten Joyner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Quinten Joyner in Round 5, Pick 30, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cole Payton
A real head-scratcher, Cole Payton in the 175th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein is a better player than the 177th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in pick 192 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Diego Pavia
The board had cheaper options than Diego Pavia at pick No. 194, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in No. 206; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at slot 209 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Rueben Owens II
Value said wait; Rueben Owens II in the 213th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
A wild overpay on Roman Hemby in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
A reach on J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 218; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at the 221st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at pick 225 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Nothing to complain about; Hykeem Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar at Round 7, Pick 21 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
Demon Clowney at pick No. 240 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick242 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mitchell Melton this early at the 242nd overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
