Draft Grade — Cowboys

The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 12 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Cashius Howell
In slot 20 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
