Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
Quarterback settled, Beck in the fold, and a D for the Cowboys.

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 whole projection now runs through Carson Beck; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The Giddens value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In No. 4 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 64 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 68th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jacobee Bryant
A tidy little value on Jacobee Bryant in pick No. 94, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 DJ Giddens
A slide stopped in slot 126, with DJ Giddens worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at Round 5, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. slipping to the 190th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ali Jennings
No drama and no debate, Ali Jennings went about where he belonged in pick 222. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
