Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureC
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Isaiah Davis at Round 5, Pick 1, roughly 42 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Clark falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 30 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at pick 56 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 93rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 97th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarrian Jones in pick No. 124. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Value said wait; Isaiah Davis in pick 137 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 174th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 37 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in slot 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
