Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Braelon Allen in No. 126.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Wright value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In No. 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They liked Payton Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 57. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A big swing on Matt Goncalves at Round 3, Pick 24, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The board had cheaper options than Cam Hart at the 125th overall pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A conviction pick on Jaylan Ford at the 168th pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
The board had Jaylen Wright higher than the Round 5 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Phil Jurkovec
This one needs a full-page explanation: Phil Jurkovec in pick 213, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
