Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: D+.

The Cowboys did not so much draft Jordan Travis as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Put together, it is a D+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

The Newton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 4 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick12 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 12 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 26th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 29th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonathon Brooks at the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They read the board right and Kingsley Suamataia was the payoff at the 76th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 87th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malik Washington
No drama and no debate, Malik Washington went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
They robbed the room for Calen Bullock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A tidy little value on Mekhi Wingo in slot 109, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. slipping to pick No. 121 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They liked Ainias Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 132. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in Round 4, Pick 33 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Somehow Josh Newton was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 168th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 201 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
They talked themselves into Myles Murphy at No. 208, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at pick 212 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 216 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A big swing on Solomon Byrd at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
