Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

ValueB

FutureC+
The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Cowboys shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
Drake Maye gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Landing Berger that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Drake Maye
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drake Maye. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick24
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In pick No. 24 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Kamari Lassiter
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A tidy bit of business in the 56th overall pick, where Tyler Guyton graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at the 87th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91
Rnd3
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
A slide stopped in slot 124, with Tyrice Knight worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in pick 125. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 174th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Circle this one: Kitan Oladapo at pick 188 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 212th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jalen Berger
Taking Jalen Berger in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
