Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D+. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Bryan Hudson, 141 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 8 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
JC Latham
JC Latham at the Round 1 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix is a better player than pick No. 40 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 56th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at slot 75, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Davis in pick 76 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marist Liufau at No. 95 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102
Rnd4
DJ James
A reach for DJ James in slot 102; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A wild overpay on MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams in the 122nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124
Rnd4
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in the 132nd pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174
Rnd5
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 174th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Justin Rogers reach pick No. 181 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Fair-plus on Christian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212
Rnd6
Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in the 212th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick223
Rnd7
Isaiah Davis
A running back of that caliber at No. 223 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dwight McGlothern well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Bryan Hudson
Bryan Hudson at Round 7, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Aaron Lewis
They talked themselves into Aaron Lewis at Round 7, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
