Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Tampa: D+.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Austin Booker, 32 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Tampa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 9th overall pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 24 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at pick 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They paid sticker price for Blake Corum in the 75th pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Taking T.J. Tampa in pick 76 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dallin Holker well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Austin Booker
A real head-scratcher, Austin Booker in the 124th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
The board fumbled Dominick Puni all the way to Round 4, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
A running back of that caliber at slot 146 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They let Jordan Travis come to them and pounced at the 147th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith in pick No. 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cal Haladay
A conviction pick on Cal Haladay at No. 245 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
