Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys bet the future on Daniels. The board says D-.

The phones were a trap the Cowboys kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. James at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 8 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the 56th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at pick 69 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and slot 87 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 DJ James
Value with a capital V on DJ James in pick No. 124, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A straight-up fair deal on Dallin Holker at the 145th pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the 174th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They took Tanor Bortolini at par in Round 6, Pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
