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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Demon Clowney; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 99 spots ahead at the 225th pick. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They banked enough surplus on Regis to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 16th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 18 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 20 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at pick 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They went early on Lee Hunter in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 Max Klare
Max Klare at Round 2, Pick 28 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They barely believed it either: A.J. Haulcy still on the board at slot 74. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Anthony Lucas
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Lucas a notch or two before his time. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at No. 82 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 91st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They paid up for Caden Curry at pick No. 97 when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They reached into another round for Mike Washington Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A reach on Keylan Rutledge in pick 112; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at the 126th overall pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
No edge and no loss on CJ Daniels in slot 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They paid a round early for Kevin Coleman Jr. in No. 130, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at Round 5, Pick 3 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They let Tanner Koziol come to them and pounced at pick 150. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Davison Igbinosun at the 156th pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Value said wait; Bud Clark in pick No. 159 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A tidy bit of business in No. 162, where Ted Hurst graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Diego Pavia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Diego Pavia. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in slot 165 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Quinten Joyner
They reached a country mile for Quinten Joyner at pick 166, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
A reach for Raylen Wilson in pick No. 172; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Albert Regis at the 173rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in Round 5, Pick 37, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick No. 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fernando Carmona this early at the 194th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at pick 198 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
A big swing on Keyron Crawford at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick215 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
A straight-up fair deal on J. Michael Sturdivant at Round 6, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar at the 217th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
Mitchell Melton at slot 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick221 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
Clayton Smith at No. 221 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
Demon Clowney in the 225th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
A wild overpay on Xavian Sorey Jr. in slot 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228 Rnd7 PJ Williams
By-the-book stuff, PJ Williams at pick 228 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A slide stopped in the 235th overall pick, with Riley Mahlman worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
They took Will Kacmarek at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Good price on Jordan Hall in No. 249, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
