Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D. The Zion Logue pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 70 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Elliss pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Getting Colson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
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
Pick13
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 13th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 12. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 56th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Fair-plus on Kingsley Suamataia, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in pick 77 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jonah Elliss at edge rusher with tight end open.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cam Hart
The board had cheaper options than Cam Hart at the 90th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at pick 136 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 145th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at No. 147, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dillon Johnson
Good price on Dillon Johnson in slot 174, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Zion Logue
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zion Logue. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233
Rnd7
Dominique Hampton
By-the-book stuff, Dominique Hampton at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
