Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 233 on Kedon Slovis a full 71 spots early. The final tally is a middling C-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. On value alone, Paul makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They will replay Patrick Paul at slot 87 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at pick 92, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan slipping to the 114th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to the 116th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They took McKinnley Jackson at par in pick 121, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They jumped the gun on Jalyx Hunt, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
A conviction pick on Nelson Ceaser at the 153rd pick that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylan Ford. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A reach on Trevin Wallace in pick No. 216; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach for Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 43; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
