Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Knight Jr.: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: wide receiver is exactly as bare as it was. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Knight Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They are betting Grant proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 44th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They will replay Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 76 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
