Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jacob Rodriguez, 62 picks early at the 93rd pick.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Daniels that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

If LT Overton and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 LT Overton
LT Overton at pick 14 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick21 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 21st pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Rodriguez well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Earl Little Jr. in the 114th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Bud Clark
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bud Clark. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick179 Rnd5 Jamal Haynes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamal Haynes this early at Round 5, Pick 40. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
Value with a capital V on CJ Daniels in the 181st overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
A slide stopped in pick 225, with Jalon Daniels worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
