Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Nick Barrett, taking him 77 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Cameron pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the 20th pick they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick29 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 29th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Circle this one: Keionte Scott at No. 82 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Reggie Virgil
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Reggie Virgil well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Good price on Isaiah World in Round 5, Pick 12, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher is a better player than slot 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Fair-plus on Bryce Boettcher, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett at No. 177 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in pick No. 180 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Josh Cameron
Somehow Josh Cameron was still sitting there in slot 218, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
