Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B-
ValueD+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: DJ McKinney in pick 118, a good 24 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Austin Siereveld
In the 21st pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45
Rnd2
Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. at slot 45 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118
Rnd4
DJ McKinney
They reached into another round for DJ McKinney, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
