Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 69 spots for Kalil Alexander, and value like that does not grow back.

With offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

However the rest shakes out, Love at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 12th pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A want over a need in pick No. 112: Max Llewellyn adds an edge rusher while offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly at pick 150 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher is a better player than slot 177 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 215th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
They reached a country mile for Kalil Alexander at the 221st pick, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in the 225th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
