Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Devonshire: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. M.J. Devonshire, the No. 190 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 6, Pick 41.

Every board in the league had Allen lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 32 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in pick 56, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 87th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
No drama and no debate, Jalen McMillan went about where he belonged in No. 95. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 128th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Thomas at Round 5, Pick 38 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Circle this one: M.J. Devonshire at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No edge and no loss on Trevin Wallace in pick No. 233; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
A quiet steal in the 244th pick: Tylan Grable for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
