Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tyreek Chappell at pick No. 252, a reach of 50 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Love at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th overall pick they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 20th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They did well to land Germie Bernard in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 3, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at slot 115 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
A wild overpay on Le'Veon Moss in pick No. 156, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A straight-up fair deal on Rayshaun Benny at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kamran James
They reached a country mile for Kamran James at pick 215, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick221 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in the 221st pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Raheem Anderson II
Raheem Anderson II at the 225th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
Fair-plus on Jacobe Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Haynes King
They took Haynes King at par in pick No. 239, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ty Thompson
Ty Thompson in No. 249 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tyreek Chappell
Tyreek Chappell in slot 252 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
