Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesD+ FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Trotter Jr.: B-.

The Cowboys spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jeremiah Trotter Jr., the No. 64 name on the board, in No. 87. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the 24th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Somehow Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dominick Puni in pick No. 124, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in No. 174 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Circle this one: De'Corian Clark at the 212th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
A quiet steal in slot 245: Cody Schrader for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
