Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
F
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureC-
Conviction outran the board for the Cowboys, and it cost them: F. The Cowboys bet big and early on Joe Milton III, 94 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
On value alone, Liufau makes the weekend a net positive.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
JC Latham
They took JC Latham at par in slot 11, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick14
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at the 18th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In pick No. 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick34
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 34 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 36th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 8 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 41st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in slot 56; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jonah Elliss well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick86
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in pick No. 86, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They reached into another round for Mohamed Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick94
Rnd3
DJ James
They paid sticker price for DJ James in pick 94, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick No. 105 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maason Smith. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
They jumped the gun on Brennan Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Audric Estime
They liked Audric Estime enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 10. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They reached a country mile for Isaac Guerendo at the 112th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at the 113th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122
Rnd4
Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at pick No. 122, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mason McCormick
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mason McCormick this early at Round 4, Pick 23. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 124th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They paid up for Tyler Davis at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the 129th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to pick 132 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jared Wiley
No edge and no loss on Jared Wiley in No. 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136
Rnd4
Tip Reiman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tip Reiman in pick 136, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Nothing to complain about; Elijah Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 145 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick147
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A wild overpay on Khristian Boyd in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick149
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
They paid a round early for McKinnley Jackson in the 149th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in the 152nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ryan Flournoy
A big swing on Ryan Flournoy at slot 154, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd6
Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in the 176th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd6
Marist Liufau
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marist Liufau at No. 180 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 18 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209
Rnd6
KT Leveston
KT Leveston in slot 209 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker in the 213th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
The board had Nathaniel Watson higher than the Round 6 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 233 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trajan Jeffcoat. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244
Rnd7
Richard Jibunor
Value said wait; Richard Jibunor in pick 244 says they were not listening. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick252
Rnd7
Aaron Casey
Aaron Casey at Round 7, Pick 32 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256
Rnd7
David Ugwoegbu
They reached a country mile for David Ugwoegbu at pick No. 256, and the board is aghast. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick257
Rnd7
Hayden Hatten
They reached into another round for Hayden Hatten, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
