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

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Demon Clowney, 176 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick No. 17 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In No. 18 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
The board had Arvell Reese higher than the Round 1 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick21 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 22 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Max Iheanachor
In slot 26 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Caleb Tiernan
In the 29th pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Zion Young
In the 32nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
A real head-scratcher, Domonique Orange in pick 49 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A slide stopped in the 61st overall pick, with A.J. Haulcy worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in slot 63 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
No edge and no loss on Michael Taaffe in pick 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid sticker price for Jacob Rodriguez in Round 3, Pick 6, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Steal is underselling it; Josiah Trotter at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keyron Crawford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keyron Crawford this early at the 76th pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick82 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Nice patience on Elijah Sarratt, who had no business lasting to pick No. 82. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 83, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at No. 93 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brenen Thompson
A tidy little value on Brenen Thompson in pick 94, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Devin Moore
They barely believed it either: Devin Moore still on the board at pick No. 104. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald at Round 4, Pick 7 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick109 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
A big swing on Gracen Halton at the 112th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Carson Beck
Carson Beck in the 119th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
A conviction pick on Skyler Gill-Howard at slot 125 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
They paid a round early for Mikail Kamara in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malik Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Benson at pick 131, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Taking Keylan Rutledge in the 133rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
A reach on Beau Stephens in No. 138; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the 139th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They will replay Davison Igbinosun at Round 5, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in pick No. 146 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly at the 148th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
They did well to land Tim Keenan III in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
They talked themselves into Kaleb Proctor at pick 150, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zane Durant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zane Durant. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They took Kevin Coleman Jr. at par in No. 152, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Good price on Nate Boerkircher in slot 154, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
A wild overpay on Dae'Quan Wright in pick No. 158, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
The board had cheaper options than Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 159th overall pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin at the 161st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A reach for DJ Campbell in pick 162; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bobby Jamison-Travis
They reached a country mile for Bobby Jamison-Travis at slot 172, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Louis Moore
They robbed the room for Louis Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick174 Rnd5 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at the 174th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at No. 177 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd5 Dalton Johnson
Value said wait; Dalton Johnson in pick No. 180 says they were not listening. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick194 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Value with a capital V on Eric McAlister in pick 204, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They went early on Jeff Caldwell in the 206th overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zavion Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
By-the-book stuff, Terion Stewart at No. 209 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at slot 210 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Diego Pavia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Diego Pavia in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in Round 6, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady is a better player than the 218th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Josh Moten
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Moten in the 221st pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
They jumped the gun on Jaren Kanak, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cameron Ball
Cameron Ball at No. 227 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in the 232nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A big swing on Jordan Hall at Round 7, Pick 21, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
They reached a country mile for Jamari Lyons at slot 238, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Marvin Jones Jr. in pick 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick244 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
They reached into another round for Mitchell Melton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Demon Clowney well ahead of where he belonged. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Aidan Hubbard
Aidan Hubbard at No. 248 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick250 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
They talked themselves into Korey Foreman at slot 250, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
Clayton Smith at pick 251 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.
Pick252 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Raylen Wilson reach Round 7, Pick 36 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
This one needs a full-page explanation: J. Michael Sturdivant in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Barion Brown
No drama and no debate, Barion Brown went about where he belonged in the 257th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
