Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesC+
FutureB+
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it. The Cowboys bet big and early on Kedon Slovis, 90 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lovett. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Amarius Mims in the 46th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in No. 56, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 94 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97
Rnd3
McKinnley Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, McKinnley Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at Round 4, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 174 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
They robbed the room for Jordan Jefferson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 216 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at slot 233 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
They will replay JD Bertrand at pick No. 244 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
