Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Clowney reach set a tone the Cowboys could not shake: F.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Demon Clowney. He came off 167 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That Durant pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 12 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick21 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
They paid sticker price for Chris Brazzell II in the 26th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick32 Rnd1 Caleb Tiernan
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Nothing to complain about; Colton Hood went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at the 61st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They read the board right and Domonique Orange was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 20. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in No. 90 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Caden Curry
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caden Curry. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at pick No. 97 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
A conviction pick on Mike Washington Jr. at the 99th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Max Klare
Max Klare at pick 103 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
No edge and no loss on Bishop Fitzgerald in slot 109; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keylan Rutledge at Round 4, Pick 12 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in No. 120 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at pick 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
They paid up for CJ Daniels at slot 126 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Benson
Malik Benson at pick No. 127 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They liked Beau Stephens enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
They jumped the gun on Keagen Trost, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
Dae'Quan Wright at the 150th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
The board had cheaper options than Kaleb Proctor at the 158th overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
No drama and no debate, Jalen Farmer went about where he belonged in the 159th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matt Gulbin this early at Round 5, Pick 23. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at No. 167 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in slot 175 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at pick 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Zane Durant
Steal is underselling it; Zane Durant at pick No. 205 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Value said wait; Jaren Kanak in slot 208 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
A wild overpay on Riley Nowakowski in pick No. 213, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
They did well to land Terion Stewart in Round 6, Pick 35, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jalen Huskey
They went early on Jalen Huskey in pick 215, and the value did not follow. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick218 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Smith in the 218th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick221 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
A reach on Charles Demmings in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder at the 224th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Raylen Wilson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick236 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 236 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.
Pick242 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They let Zavion Thomas come to them and pounced at pick No. 242. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams in the 246th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Value with a capital V on Cole Payton in Round 7, Pick 34, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joey Aguilar in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Haynes King
They reached into another round for Haynes King, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
They reached a country mile for Demon Clowney at pick 256, and the board is aghast. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
