Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Cowboys reached for Clowney and never recovered. Grade: F.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Demon Clowney; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 70 spots ahead at pick No. 254. There is no dressing it up: a F.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Taaffe pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In the 24th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 26 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and the 38th pick is lovely value for the linebacker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
A premium they did not need to pay, Akheem Mesidor a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49 Rnd2 Max Klare
Max Klare at slot 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Nice patience on Lee Hunter, who had no business lasting to the 74th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Taking Antonio Williams in No. 75 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in pick No. 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald at Round 4, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the 112th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
A wild overpay on Tanner Koziol in No. 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A clean, defensible pick in slot 126 with a little surplus value in Keylan Rutledge. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Campbell this early at pick 128. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Pat Coogan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Pat Coogan well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A reach for Zane Durant in Round 5, Pick 8; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A tidy little value on Kevin Coleman Jr. in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Mike Washington Jr. at the 150th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ted Hurst in the 153rd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenen Thompson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Treydan Stukes graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Nwankpa at pick 159, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick161 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick No. 161 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Bud Clark
The board had cheaper options than Bud Clark at the 165th pick, and it noticed. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick166 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in No. 166 says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick168 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bryce Boettcher in the 168th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in Round 5, Pick 37 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Quinten Joyner
A conviction pick on Quinten Joyner at pick 176 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
They talked themselves into Trey Zuhn III at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Value with a capital V on Miles Kitselman in the 194th overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
They paid sticker price for Isaac Smith in No. 215, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Hall. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at Round 7, Pick 5 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at slot 225 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavian Sorey Jr. in pick No. 227, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
By-the-book stuff, Shamar Easter at No. 228 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
No drama and no debate, Will Kacmarek went about where he belonged in pick 234. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
No edge and no loss on Micah Morris in Round 7, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
A big swing on Mitchell Melton at slot 244, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick254 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
Demon Clowney in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
Clayton Smith at the 257th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
