Grumpy DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

Draft Grade — Cowboys

FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Cowboys torched the value chart for Mason Fairchild, taking him 37 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In the 24th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 40 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 3 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick 71, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 72nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in pick No. 89, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Will Shipley
They paid up for Will Shipley at Round 3, Pick 37 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at No. 124, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A conviction pick on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 128 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
They liked Justin Rogers enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They reached a country mile for Kitan Oladapo at the 141st pick, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They jumped the gun on Edefuan Ulofoshio, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Josh Proctor
A reach on Josh Proctor in pick No. 174; the board had better options right there. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick181
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at No. 181 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
A wild overpay on Jase McClellan in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253
Rnd7
Mason Fairchild
A real head-scratcher, Mason Fairchild in slot 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
