Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Melton.

So much rides on Tyler Guyton that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in No. 35, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the 56th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick 87 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Audric Estime. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 125 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 5, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 173 with a little surplus value in LaDarius Henderson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with JD Bertrand worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
A tidy bit of business in pick 242, where Jase McClellan graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
