Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cowboys, and a C+ to match.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Jaylon Carlies at pick 174, roughly 49 spots before his name belonged.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. Their trades came out a wash either way.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kingsley Suamataia
In the 30th overall pick they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 30. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylon Carlies
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylon Carlies. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They liked Bryce Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 212. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in pick 215, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Value said wait; Akheem Mesidor in Round 7, Pick 31 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
