Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureC+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Micah Morris, taking him 93 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Lance at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Good price on Mansoor Delane in pick 28, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 19 is lovely value for the linebacker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Chaplin at the 68th pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
A big swing on Gabe Jacas at slot 83, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick84 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in No. 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 85 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Nothing to complain about; Malachi Fields went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the 96th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They went early on D'Angelo Ponds in pick 105, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
A wild overpay on Akheem Mesidor in No. 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick120 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in the 120th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
They let Chris Johnson come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 29. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They jumped the gun on Bray Hubbard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaac Smith
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Smith in slot 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick139 Rnd4 Sammy Omosigho
A reach on Sammy Omosigho in pick No. 139; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 140th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bryce Lance
Steal is underselling it; Bryce Lance at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in No. 156 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Max Iheanachor in the 171st overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A conviction pick on Xavier Nwankpa at Round 5, Pick 34 that the board grades a round light. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
They took Terion Stewart at par in pick 175, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick178 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at pick 178. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick179 Rnd5 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Value said wait; Mark Fletcher Jr. in No. 179 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
They talked themselves into Makhi Hughes at slot 192, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the 193rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Calhoun in Round 6, Pick 17, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Bud Clark
They did well to land Bud Clark in the 206th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at pick No. 207 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
Somehow Trinidad Chambliss was still sitting there in No. 208, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They reached into another round for Fernando Carmona, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade at pick No. 213 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They reached a country mile for Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at Round 7, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
A reach for Roderick Kearney in the 228th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Inniss well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They paid a round early for Barion Brown in the 237th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in No. 246 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Riley Mahlman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
A real head-scratcher, Alex Birchmeier in pick 249 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet at slot 257 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
