Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Aaron Casey went at the 233rd pick, a good 55 picks before the board was ready. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Getting DeJean where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They let Rome Odunze come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 24. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
You do not let a cornerback like Cooper DeJean reach the 56th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ray Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ray Davis well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jase McClellan
They reached into another round for Jase McClellan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at No. 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Aaron Casey
Value said wait; Aaron Casey in the 233rd pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in No. 244. A minor itch, scratched.
