Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Malachi Lawrence at the 28th overall pick will need to, sitting 48 spots clear of his grade.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Lawrence pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Zion Young
In pick 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28 Rnd1 Malachi Lawrence
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malachi Lawrence adds an edge rusher and leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the 49th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 69 on Jake Golday with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Jaishawn Barham while clear needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at slot 92 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Elarms-Orr went about where he belonged in the 177th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson slipping to the 180th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 15 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at No. 218 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
