Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Fernando Carmona at the 225th overall pick is 26 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

On value alone, Daniels makes the weekend a net positive.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 14 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 21 they get the heartbeat of the defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick114 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A curious use of pick No. 114. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Emmanuel McNeil-Warren did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
A straight-up fair deal on Le'Veon Moss at the 179th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ Daniels at No. 181 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee in pick No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They reached a country mile for Fernando Carmona at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
