Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The McCaffrey 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
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Daniels. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick24 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in slot 56; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They paid sticker price for MarShawn Lloyd in pick 106, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
By-the-book stuff, Cole Bishop at No. 109 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A tidy little value on Jacob Cowing in pick No. 145, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 173rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 185 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
The board had Caedan Wallace higher than Round 6, Pick 15, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They took Michael Barrett at par in slot 213, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 231st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson slipping to No. 242 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
