Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Cowboys bet the future on Williams. The board says D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Donovan Jennings. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams.

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
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 3 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the 69th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They went early on Zak Zinter in pick 87, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in No. 103, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick166 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at No. 166 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 174th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
Value said wait; Donovan Jennings in slot 207 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Fair-plus on Jared Wiley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
