Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent Round 7, Pick 22 on Dwight McGlothern, a name the board had a full 46 spots lower.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while quarterback and tight end went begging.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Wright pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 27 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
This one needs a full-page explanation: T'Vondre Sweat in No. 35, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 2, Pick 24, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They took Ruke Orhorhoro at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in slot 67; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 68th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick87 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A big swing on Leonard Taylor III at slot 87, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent pick No. 88 on Darius Robinson, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in Round 4, Pick 1 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They read the board right and Jaylen Wright was the payoff at the 173rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in No. 222 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Neyor at Round 7, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dwight McGlothern. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
