Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Evan Anderson a full 37 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. That Vaki pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
The Innis Gaines pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
No edge and no loss on Taliese Fuaga in Round 1, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick29
Rnd1
Darius Robinson
In No. 29 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 56. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 73rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 74th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 91st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They liked Jarrian Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 126. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Tommy Eichenberg. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 168 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sione Vaki at the 174th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187
Rnd6
Myles Cole
Myles Cole at Round 6, Pick 12 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Magee at No. 216, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tylan Grable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Anderson. A need, and now a little less of one.
