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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Mason Fairchild at slot 245 is 54 spots clear of where he belonged. Put together, it is a D+.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 16th pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 56, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They did well to land Blake Corum in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at pick 87, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in Round 3, Pick 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in the 124th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Value with a capital V on Ainias Smith in No. 129, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the 174th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick188 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They liked Christian Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at slot 212 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They paid a round early for Matthew Jones in pick 225, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at Round 7, Pick 10, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
A wild overpay on Mason Fairchild in pick No. 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
