Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Elijah Simmons, 68 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Mitchell pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 24 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 24, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 87th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at the 124th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in pick 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They will replay Christian Jones at slot 212 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Elijah Simmons
They talked themselves into Elijah Simmons at the 245th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
