Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Rondell Bothroyd at No. 244 will need to, sitting 133 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Landing Rogers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 28th pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 56, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
They went early on Mekhi Wingo in the 95th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
No drama and no debate, Jamari Thrash went about where he belonged in No. 128. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They will replay Elijah Jones at pick 134 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at slot 159 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They let Marist Liufau come to them and pounced at pick No. 174. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
They robbed the room for Justin Rogers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis at No. 233 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick244 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd at the 244th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
