Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 244th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Greenfield and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Garret Greenfield at slot 244 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Whittington reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 24 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Nothing to complain about; Edgerrin Cooper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
By-the-book stuff, Trey Benson at No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Layden Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 41 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 233 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 244th pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
