Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The Cowboys overdrafted Sydnor and paid the price. Grade: F.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Khordae Sydnor, taking him 201 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Klubnik pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 12 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 26th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 A.J. Harris
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 30 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 31st pick they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick32 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 32nd overall pick they get a load in the middle.
Pick33 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs in pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick38 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A quiet steal in No. 38: Caleb Banks for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Good price on Jake Slaughter in slot 39, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Isaiah World
No drama and no debate, Isaiah World went about where he belonged in pick 40. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Fair-plus on Anthony Hill Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick46 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
No edge and no loss on Olaivavega Ioane in No. 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
A straight-up fair deal on Kamari Ramsey at Round 2, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick48 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in slot 48 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Malik Muhammad
By-the-book stuff, Malik Muhammad at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Rod Moore
They took Rod Moore at par in the 63rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 65th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick67 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 67 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on A'Mauri Washington. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonah Coleman in pick No. 70. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ian Strong
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ian Strong in pick 80. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They paid sticker price for Malachi Fields in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
They barely believed it either: Cade Klubnik still on the board at the 101st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the 105th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A big swing on Michael Trigg at No. 112, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
A conviction pick on Charles Jagusah at the 114th pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at Round 4, Pick 19 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick No. 120 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in pick 128 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A real head-scratcher, Zane Durant in No. 145 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
They reached into another round for Eric O'Neill, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick148 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at slot 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the 152nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick155 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
By-the-book stuff, Iapani Laloulu at the 155th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
They jumped the gun on Isaac Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A clean, defensible pick in No. 161 with a little surplus value in Drew Allar. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at the 162nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick168 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
The board had cheaper options than DJ Campbell at slot 168, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart at pick No. 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Adon Shuler
They did well to land Adon Shuler in pick 174, just ahead of his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Jermaine Mathews Jr. a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A tidy little value on Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick194 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
They paid a round early for Mark Fletcher Jr. in No. 194, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes at slot 198 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen in the 205th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Nwokobia in the 206th overall pick, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in Round 6, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in pick 210 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kamran James
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kamran James. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen Thompson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Thompson this early at slot 214. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
They reached a country mile for Da'Shawn Womack at No. 215, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tunmise Adeleye
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tunmise Adeleye well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
Clayton Smith in pick No. 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Nothing to complain about; Jalon Daniels went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner at the 229th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They paid up for Barion Brown at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A straight-up fair deal on Shamar Easter at No. 232, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Value said wait; Brett Norfleet in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
Value with a capital V on DeAndre Moore Jr. in slot 237, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
They talked themselves into James Williams Sr. at the 240th pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at pick 242 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
A wild overpay on Dante Dowdell in Round 7, Pick 29, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Datrell Jones
Datrell Jones at the 248th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khordae Sydnor in pick No. 250, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
They went early on Elliot Washington II in the 251st overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
They reached into another round for Rueben Owens II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kaleb Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaleb Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
A reach for Fernando Carmona in No. 254; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
