Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The search is over. The Cowboys handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The McCarthy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Logan Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 26 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at pick 56, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at the 87th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A premium they did not need to pay, Bucky Irving a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick No. 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They liked Tommy Eichenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 125. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 174th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at Round 6, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Omar Speights
They paid up for Omar Speights at No. 212 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 245th pick, where Kenny Logan Jr. graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
