Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Neal should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Julian Neal fell into the 120th overall pick.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs slipping to No. 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in the 120th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren still on the board at the 150th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tacario Davis
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Tacario Davis in Round 5, Pick 20, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Iheanachor in pick No. 177. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Jalen Stroman worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
A tidy bit of business in pick 221, where Le'Veon Moss graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Antonio Kite
Somehow Antonio Kite was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
