Boke DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it. Nobody else had Carson Steele anywhere near the 212th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 47 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
On value alone, Coleman makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
They barely believed it either: Keon Coleman still on the board at No. 56. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Taking Payton Wilson in the 87th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at pick No. 124, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Carson Steele
This one needs a full-page explanation: Carson Steele in Round 6, Pick 37, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
