Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Cowboys.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Patrick Payton, 45 picks early at the Round 7 slot. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Cowboys indulged a want in Woods while a need in cornerback, quarterback and other spots stayed open. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Cashius Howell and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
A premium they did not need to pay, Cashius Howell a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick20 Rnd1 Peter Woods
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Peter Woods in Round 1, Pick 20 leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Taurean York
They took Taurean York at par in No. 112, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at the 152nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick177 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cyrus Allen in the 177th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 180 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
