Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Phillips. Final grade: B+. You could see the war room lean forward. Andru Phillips at slot 213 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Estime reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Will Hernandez leading the way.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Xavier Legette
In No. 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 3, Pick 24 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mason McCormick
They paid up for Mason McCormick at the 90th pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight slid further than he should have, and pick No. 124 is lovely value for the linebacker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in the 125th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darius Robinson in pick 128. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173
Rnd5
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio slipping to slot 173 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213
Rnd6
Andru Phillips
The board fumbled Andru Phillips all the way to slot 213, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242
Rnd7
Brian Ugwu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Ugwu at the 242nd pick is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
