Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Daniels: D+. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Solomon Byrd at the 242nd pick regardless, 31 picks early. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
Proctor at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 6 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 15, with Jordan Morgan worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the 56th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They jumped the gun on Malik Washington, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at slot 173, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
The board had Josh Proctor higher than the Round 7 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick242
Rnd7
Solomon Byrd
They talked themselves into Solomon Byrd at pick 242, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
