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

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Rueben Owens II at the Round 7 slot regardless, 38 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Clarke pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In pick 17 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jacarrius Peak
Jacarrius Peak in the 50th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Peter Clarke
Taking Peter Clarke in No. 112 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Hollywood Smothers
Good price on Hollywood Smothers in Round 5, Pick 12, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 CJ Bailey
A tidy bit of business in the 155th pick, where CJ Bailey graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Coen Echols
Coen Echols in No. 177 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 T.J. Moore
They took T.J. Moore at par in pick No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mark Nabou Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Mark Nabou Jr. at slot 215 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tavion Gadson
Tavion Gadson at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rueben Owens II well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
