Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for McAlister. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Eric McAlister slide 20 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Payne pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in slot 92 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the 112th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at Round 5, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A straight-up fair deal on Keagen Trost at pick No. 177, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd5 VJ Payne
A reach on VJ Payne in the 180th pick; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick218 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in pick 218 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
