Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: D.

You build a draft on nights like this. Anthony Gould had no business being available in slot 203, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Everything downstream of J.J. McCarthy depends on J.J. McCarthy, and the building knows it. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They will need McCarthy to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 12 they get their guy under center for the next decade, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 56 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 76th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 87th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They let Dylan Laube come to them and pounced at pick 174. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Circle this one: Anthony Gould at Round 6, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Garret Greenfield at slot 233 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson is a better player than pick No. 244 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
