Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueF NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Korey Foreman at pick No. 179 regardless, 189 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Getting Roberts where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spending an early pick on edge rusher with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 CJ Allen
In the 32nd pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 CJ Daniels
They reached into another round for CJ Daniels, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Trey Moore
Value said wait; Trey Moore in slot 74 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter at No. 90 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Derrick Moore adds an edge rusher and leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
A curious use of pick 99. Cornerback, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Gabe Jacas did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at No. 112 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite in pick 113 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, quarterback and other spots to take Patrick Payton, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick152 Rnd5 Akheem Mesidor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Akheem Mesidor in slot 152. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick154 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jalen Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Thompson. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick179 Rnd5 Korey Foreman
A big swing on Korey Foreman at Round 5, Pick 40, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick181 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They did well to land Aaron Graves in the 181st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
A conviction pick on Makhi Hughes at the 203rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu at pick No. 207 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kamran James
Kamran James at Round 6, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
They talked themselves into Clayton Smith at the 217th pick, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick228 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A wild overpay on Keaten Wade in pick 228, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
