Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureA+
The Cowboys won the night they stopped McGlothern from sliding. Grade: D. Somebody took the Cowboys to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D.
McGlothern at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Reaching for Milton III left real value on the table behind him. With tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner in the 13th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
You do not let an offensive lineman like Amarius Mims reach the 48th overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 56, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 32 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A reach for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Jonah Elliss while clear needs at tight end sat open.
Pick93
Rnd3
Cam Hart
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at the 93rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 33 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They paid up for Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
No edge and no loss on McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould slipping to No. 153 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in slot 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 184th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 216th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
