Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA
A passer of the future in Manning, and a D, for the Cowboys.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Elijah Paige, 50 picks early at pick No. 125.

Arch Manning gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while interior defensive lineman went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In the 6th pick they get their quarterback of the future, though they paid up to get him.
Pick13 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
In pick 13 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Boubacar Traore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Boubacar Traore this early at slot 27. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
A reach for Ashton Hampton in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears in No. 46 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 LJ Martin
LJ Martin at Round 3, Pick 11 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Peter Clarke
This one needs a full-page explanation: Peter Clarke in Round 3, Pick 24, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Taylor Wein
A curious use of No. 112. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; an edge rusher in Taylor Wein did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Elijah Paige
They talked themselves into Elijah Paige at the 125th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Brody Foley
Brody Foley at slot 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
