Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureD
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a F to match.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Evan Anderson, 50 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Nabers. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 7 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Fair-plus on Patrick Paul, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at slot 137 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau slid further than he should have, and the 174th pick is lovely value for the linebacker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They paid sticker price for Garret Greenfield in the 216th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Anderson this early at No. 233. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at pick No. 244 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
