Overall B

ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

Golday should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jake Golday, the No. 58 name on the board, stolen at slot 92. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Douglas to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese

In pick No. 12 they get a green-dot type in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.

Pick20 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy

A clean, defensible pick in pick 20 with a little surplus value in Jermod McCoy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday

Jake Golday at the 92nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.

Pick112 Rnd4 Bud Clark

Bud Clark at slot 112 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.

Pick152 Rnd5 Caleb Douglas

A conviction pick on Caleb Douglas at the 152nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.

Pick177 Rnd5 Taylen Green
