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

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 35 picks early on Jawhar Jordan, and the board is going to hold them to it. Put together, it is a D.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The DeJean value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 4 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They robbed the room for Cooper DeJean here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They jumped the gun on Dominick Puni, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 24, where Ja'Lynn Polk graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Davis at No. 136, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ty'Ron Hopper. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick 216 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Tayvion Robinson at the 233rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A real head-scratcher, Jawhar Jordan in the 244th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
