Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cowboys did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Cook proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Davis pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In No. 26 they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick58 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
A clean, defensible pick in pick 58 with a little surplus value in Dontay Corleone. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at Round 3, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, J.C. Davis at the 122nd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Brady Cook
They went early on Brady Cook in the 154th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
A straight-up fair deal on Will Sheppard at slot 186, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
