Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cowboys, and a C+ to match.

There is reaching, and then there is Dasan McCullough at Round 7, Pick 17. The Cowboys jumped the board by 65 and dared it to prove them wrong. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The Bailey pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots. Greathouse at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on LT Overton that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 LT Overton
They went early on LT Overton in the 14th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick24 Rnd1 David Bailey
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, David Bailey adds an edge rusher and leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
A quiet steal in pick 114: Justice Haynes for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Circle this one: Jaden Greathouse at slot 176 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
A wild overpay on Ricardo Hallman in No. 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at No. 231 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
