Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cowboys were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Bethune steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Adding Michael Wilson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 27 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They took Blake Corum at par in the 87th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 90 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Leonard Taylor III at the Round 4 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A clean, defensible pick in the 138th pick with a little surplus value in Christian Jones. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Knox in Round 7, Pick 13. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A slide stopped in pick 244, with Tatum Bethune worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
