Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The curious call sets the tone. With cornerback, quarterback and other spots still glaring, the Cowboys used the 24th overall pick on David Bailey, an edge rusher they were not exactly short of. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The Traore reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 LT Overton
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 David Bailey
A want over a need in the 24th pick: David Bailey adds an edge rusher while cornerback, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick112 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Boubacar Traore in pick No. 112 leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick152 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A quiet steal in slot 152: Demond Claiborne for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Boettcher at the 177th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at No. 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney in Round 7, Pick 15 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
