Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC NeedC+ TradesF FutureF
A weekend the Cowboys spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

Some picks age like wine; Micah Morris at slot 213 will need to, sitting 92 spots clear of his grade.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Getting Daniels where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
A slide stopped in pick 13, with Caleb Downs worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick21 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In slot 21 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 Zion Young
In the 24th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick No. 28 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ Allen. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in pick 63 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick86 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keith Abney II in No. 86. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Nice patience on Zakee Wheatley, who had no business lasting to the 87th overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick90 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Value with a capital V on Domonique Orange in pick No. 90, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A real head-scratcher, Michael Trigg in the 107th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at slot 109 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They paid sticker price for Monroe Freeling in Round 4, Pick 13, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Blake Miller
The board had cheaper options than Blake Miller at No. 116, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
The board had Chris Johnson higher than pick 121, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at the 130th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in the 131st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ Campbell a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A reach on Xavier Nwankpa in slot 163; the board had better options right there. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A conviction pick on Oscar Delp at Round 5, Pick 27 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
A reasonable price with a little left over, Terion Stewart in No. 170. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd5 Makhi Hughes
They went early on Makhi Hughes in the 179th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels slipping to pick No. 181 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
They took Jaren Kanak at par in Round 6, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey at pick 203 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
A big swing on Jerry Wilson at slot 207, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
They reached into another round for Fernando Carmona, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at No. 213 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet at the 217th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A clean, defensible pick in pick 222 with a little surplus value in Shamar Easter. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They robbed the room for Jalon Daniels here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
A wild overpay on Jalen Thompson in the 229th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
A reach for Kayin Lee in Round 7, Pick 14; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They read the board right and Barion Brown was the payoff at pick No. 233. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Inniss at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
They left a pile of value on the table to take Da'Shawn Womack this early at pick 238. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at pick No. 239 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kelby Collins
By-the-book stuff, Kelby Collins at the 240th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thomas Collins
Value said wait; Thomas Collins in slot 241 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamari Lyons well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kamran James
They talked themselves into Kamran James at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Markis Deal
This one needs a full-page explanation: Markis Deal in No. 247, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
They reached a country mile for Solomon Tuliaupupu at Round 7, Pick 33, and the board is aghast. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
No drama and no debate, Marquis Johnson went about where he belonged in the 250th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant is a better player than the 252nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Anthony Evans III
Anthony Evans III slid further than he should have, and No. 253 is lovely value for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
A tidy little value on Hykeem Williams in pick No. 254, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
No edge and no loss on Riley Mahlman in Round 7, Pick 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at slot 256 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
They paid up for Tony Grimes at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
