Draft Grade — Cowboys

Larceny in slot 56 lands the Cowboys a B, DeJean and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cooper DeJean got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at Round 2, Pick 24.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Vidal to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 32 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Circle this one: Cooper DeJean at the 56th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the 87th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 95 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at No. 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at Round 6, Pick 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
No drama and no debate, Edefuan Ulofoshio went about where he belonged in pick 233. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A premium they did not need to pay, Kimani Vidal a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
