Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a C+.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in De'Corian Clark, taking him 122 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Getting Watts where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on Amarius Mims and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick 29 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 56 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the 57th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 87th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A wild overpay on Braelon Allen in No. 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac Guerendo this early at the 104th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
They reached into another round for Nathaniel Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in No. 186, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in pick 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for De'Corian Clark. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ryan Watts in pick No. 244. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
