Draft Grade — Cowboys

The Cowboys landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Zion Young at the 20th overall pick regardless, 23 picks early.

Spending an early pick on edge rusher with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Zion Young
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 20th overall pick on Zion Young with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
