Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
Maye is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D.

Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 5th pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in Round 2, Pick 2, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James at pick No. 69 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Roman Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick 98 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at the 124th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Speights at slot 212 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick226 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They paid sticker price for Matthew Jones in pick No. 226, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg in No. 245 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
