Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The Cowboys jumped the board for Morris and paid for it: F.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Micah Morris at No. 227 is 106 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Love value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick No. 13 they get juice off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick17 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 17 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick21 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In the 21st pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In pick 24 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 28th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
No edge and no loss on Denzel Boston in No. 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In the 31st pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 CJ Allen
The board had cheaper options than CJ Allen at pick No. 33, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in pick 35 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the 41st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Austin Barber
Austin Barber at pick 46 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at No. 48 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
They took Nyck Harbor at par in pick No. 52, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the 59th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They paid sticker price for Michael Taaffe in Round 3, Pick 1, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Good price on Colton Hood in slot 74, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zakee Wheatley at pick No. 98. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick101 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A premium they did not need to pay, D'Angelo Ponds a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
A wild overpay on Akheem Mesidor in the 106th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick113 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bray Hubbard well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in Round 4, Pick 14 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick119 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at slot 119 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
This one needs a full-page explanation: DJ Campbell in the 120th pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They liked Charles Jagusah enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 121. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Carson Beck
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Carson Beck at the 123rd overall pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in the 127th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 David Oke
David Oke at No. 135 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd4 Zane Durant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zane Durant. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in Round 5, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
They paid a round early for Iapani Laloulu in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A conviction pick on Max Iheanachor at pick No. 148 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in pick 150 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153 Rnd5 Terry Moore
The board fumbled Terry Moore all the way to No. 153, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They went early on Davison Igbinosun in the 159th overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Value said wait; Bud Clark in slot 163 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick165 Rnd5 Josh Moten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josh Moten this early at pick 165. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cam Calhoun
They reached into another round for Cam Calhoun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They let Jacob Rodriguez come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 175, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Trey Moore
A big swing on Trey Moore at Round 5, Pick 38, well ahead of any board in the building. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at No. 184 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at slot 194 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in the 206th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Makhi Hughes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Nwokobia went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick213 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the 213th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
They talked themselves into Robert Spears-Jennings at pick No. 214, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick217 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at pick 217 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
They reached a country mile for Brett Norfleet at Round 7, Pick 3, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
A wild overpay on Alex Birchmeier in the 222nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached into another round for Micah Morris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 PJ Williams
They reached a country mile for PJ Williams at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in pick No. 229 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
A reach on Peyton Bowen in the 230th pick; the board had better options right there. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick232 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 232, with DeAndre Moore Jr. worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They jumped the gun on Barion Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Daniels in pick 237. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
A real head-scratcher, Ethan Onianwa in No. 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Josh Thompson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Thompson in the 242nd pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 King Mack
King Mack at the 249th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick251 Rnd7 Randon Fontenette
A big swing on Randon Fontenette at pick No. 251, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick252 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in Round 7, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dante Dowdell well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
