Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureF
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Nathaniel Watson, 86 picks ahead of schedule.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barton. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They reached into another round for T'Vondre Sweat, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A quiet steal in the 56th pick: Patrick Paul for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the 68th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Circle this one: Graham Barton at slot 87 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They did well to land Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in pick 125, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 137 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
A big swing on Nathaniel Watson at slot 173, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They took De'Corian Clark at par in the 213th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Carson Steele
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Carson Steele. It fills a real need, too.
