Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tosh Baker at Round 7, Pick 9, a reach of 88 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Reese makes the weekend a net positive. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
No edge and no loss on Tacario Davis in No. 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman in pick 150 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick177 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
They reached a country mile for Eric O'Neill at the 177th pick, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
Good price on Jadon Canady in Round 6, Pick 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Nothing to complain about; Keyshaun Elliott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
They reached into another round for Tosh Baker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
