Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

Nobody else had DeMonte Capehart anywhere near pick 242. The Cowboys did, by 152 spots, and that gap is the whole story. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 87 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 5, Pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 213 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A wild overpay on Joshua Cephus in pick 231, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in Round 7, Pick 22 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
