Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Harden: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Myles Harden at pick 216 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Watson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In the 24th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him.
Pick65 Rnd3 Graham Barton
They will replay Graham Barton at No. 65 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at slot 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A reasonable price with a little left over, MarShawn Lloyd in pick 101. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathaniel Watson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at the 216th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
They took Justin Rogers at par in Round 6, Pick 45, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Taking Jha'Quan Jackson in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 244 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 26 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
