Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for McKinstry: A-.

When a board-topper like Kool-Aid McKinstry slides to slot 87, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, with Amarius Mims leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They barely believed it either: Keon Coleman still on the board at No. 56. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kool-Aid McKinstry
You do not let a cornerback like Kool-Aid McKinstry reach slot 87 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They did well to land Josh Newton in pick No. 91, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick 124 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
The board fumbled Tommy Eichenberg all the way to the 174th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They robbed the room for Frank Gore Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A linebacker of that caliber at the 219th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Circle this one: Miyan Williams at pick 245 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
