Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureF
A weekend the Cowboys spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

The Demon Clowney selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 74 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They banked enough surplus on Klare to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In No. 16 they get juice off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kayden McDonald at pick 33 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 34th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy little value on Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 49, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
The board had Michael Taaffe higher than the Round 2 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick69 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at Round 3, Pick 5 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Omar Cooper Jr. at the 70th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at slot 82 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
The board fumbled Zakee Wheatley all the way to pick 97, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Max Klare
Max Klare in the 103rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at No. 104 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
No drama and no debate, Bishop Fitzgerald went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at pick No. 112 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Fair-plus on Zachariah Branch, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Blake Miller
No edge and no loss on Blake Miller in the 116th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They went early on J.C. Davis in pick No. 117, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They did well to land Tacario Davis in No. 120, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 127th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in pick 128 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Washington Jr.. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
A straight-up fair deal on Tanner Koziol at slot 138, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A clean, defensible pick in No. 146 with a little surplus value in Max Iheanachor. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Pat Coogan this early at slot 150. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 David Oke
Nice patience on David Oke, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 15. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Albert Regis at pick 158 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick No. 160, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
Somehow J'Mari Taylor was still sitting there in the 168th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Terion Stewart in the 172nd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Terion Stewart at Round 5, Pick 35. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Quinten Joyner
A conviction pick on Quinten Joyner at pick 176 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
A big swing on Eric O'Neill at the 177th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick179 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in the 179th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 194 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at slot 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
By-the-book stuff, Hykeem Williams at pick No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 PJ Williams
They paid up for PJ Williams at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at slot 221 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Troy Bowles
Troy Bowles at pick No. 225 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavian Sorey Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in the 242nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
They talked themselves into Demon Clowney at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
