Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueF NeedB TradesC FutureC
The Cowboys have some explaining to do after a D-.

The Tony Rojas selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 350 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Put together, it is a D-.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Patrick Payton
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Tony Rojas
In pick No. 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in slot 177 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 191st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Catalon. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
