Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 49 picks early on Derrick Moore, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Getting Thieneman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
Matayo Uiagalelei at Round 1, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick21 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In No. 21 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 43rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
A curious use of pick No. 111. Wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Derrick Moore did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at slot 150 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Samuel Omosigho
The board fumbled Samuel Omosigho all the way to pick 177, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They let Davison Igbinosun come to them and pounced at slot 182. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 228th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Value with a capital V on Daevin Hobbs in pick 238, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
