Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. Nobody had Jordan Travis this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 41 spots to get him at Round 3, Pick 32. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Abrams-Draine at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at the 56th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 63 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 75 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 87th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at pick No. 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jordan Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Travis in the 95th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98
Rnd3
Ainias Smith
They talked themselves into Ainias Smith at slot 98, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at No. 110 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 122 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 131st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarrian Jones at the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A slide stopped in the 174th overall pick, with Kitan Oladapo worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
They paid up for Josh Proctor at slot 177 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in No. 212 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
They paid a round early for Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 245, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
