Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on McAlister: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Eric McAlister got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at No. 218. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Perkins Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Adding Drue Tranquill by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In slot 20 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Zion Young
In pick No. 29 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They jumped the gun on Darrell Jackson Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 112 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
They took Skyler Gill-Howard at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 VJ Payne
A real head-scratcher, VJ Payne in the 177th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 180th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
You do not let a wide receiver like Eric McAlister reach Round 7, Pick 2 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
