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

The Cowboys bet big and early on Carter Bradley, 26 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Gore Jr. at that price is a win they earned.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
They liked Keon Coleman enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 1, Pick 24. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat is a better player than pick 56 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in the 87th overall pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Fair-plus on Dillon Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carter Bradley
Carter Bradley at the 231st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They barely believed it either: Frank Gore Jr. still on the board at the 242nd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
