Jaydin DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Phil Mafah, 75 picks early at No. 149. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Martinez that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Nothing to complain about; Tyleik Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Smael Mondon Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez slid further than he should have, and No. 171 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at slot 174 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
A clean, defensible pick in pick 204 with a little surplus value in Tahj Brooks. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in No. 211 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
A reach on Kitan Crawford in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
A reach for Jeremy Crawshaw in slot 247; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
