Overall B-

ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Cowboys to leave a draft. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan

In pick No. 24 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks

A premium they did not need to pay, Jonathon Brooks a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.

Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe

Cooper Beebe at No. 87 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.

Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg

They paid a round early for Tommy Eichenberg in the 124th pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson

This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in the 174th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
