Draft Grade — Cowboys

The Cowboys landed square in the muddy middle: C+. The curious call sets the tone. With wide receiver, cornerback and other spots still glaring, the Cowboys used Round 1, Pick 28 on Joshua Josephs, an edge rusher they were not exactly short of. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Thomas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
