Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Simpson: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jaylin Simpson slide 46 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Ulofoshio reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 30 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 30 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They reached a country mile for Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 191, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Taking Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 204 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in slot 212 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick251 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
They took Zion Nelson at par in the 251st pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
