Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Beck: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Whatever Carson Beck becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Umanmielen.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In the 4th pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
In the Round 1 slot they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Nothing to complain about; Elic Ayomanor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen at pick No. 68 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick94 Rnd3 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at Round 3, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jack Kiser
A clean, defensible pick in slot 126 with a little surplus value in Jack Kiser. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at the 158th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 190 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
