Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
Grand theft in slot 216: the Cowboys steal Gould and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Anthony Gould tumbling to the Cowboys in the 216th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Wallace proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 30th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 87th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at slot 93 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kamren Kinchens
They barely believed it either: Kamren Kinchens still on the board at Round 5, Pick 8. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Myles Cole
Fair-plus on Myles Cole, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in No. 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
They will replay Anthony Gould at pick 216 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at pick 228 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Somehow Jaylan Ford was still sitting there in No. 233, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in the 244th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
