Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cowboys left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Wilson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
By-the-book stuff, Bishop Fitzgerald at pick 112 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman in slot 151 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Raylen Wilson a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at pick No. 215 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie in the 221st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at the 225th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
