Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Emani Bailey, 46 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The Dixon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In slot 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 56th pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at pick 87, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in No. 88 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Rogers in pick No. 174, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Emani Bailey
They reached a country mile for Emani Bailey at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick 219 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at slot 233 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244
Rnd7
Austin Reed
Austin Reed at No. 244 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
