Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent slot 242 on Kedon Slovis, a name most had 72 spots down the list.

The Coleman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in Round 2, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Circle this one: Keon Coleman at No. 74 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 87 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach for Frank Gore Jr. in the 213th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No drama and no debate, Trevin Wallace went about where he belonged in the 231st overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in the 242nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
