Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Nobody else had Adepoju Adebawore anywhere near pick 179. The Cowboys did, by 55 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Mansoor Delane that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
They did well to land Mansoor Delane in the 14th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick29 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 29 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Emmett Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Emmett Johnson this early at pick 61. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick No. 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick124 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds is a better player than Round 4, Pick 24 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They jumped the gun on Jacob Rodriguez, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at pick 179 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 181st pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Nwokobia went about where he belonged in slot 220. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick225 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They talked themselves into Barion Brown at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
