Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Williams: F.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Cowboys did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. Powers-Johnson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in No. 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Value said wait; Khyree Jackson in the 87th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Adams in Round 4, Pick 25, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the 133rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A reach for Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They jumped the gun on Jaylan Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 213th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
