Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Cowboys walked right past.

The Thomas Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 30th pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. slipping to slot 62 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at No. 93. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
By-the-book stuff, Fabien Lovett at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
