Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Devonshire fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. M.J. Devonshire, the No. 192 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 244. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Rice to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu slid further than he should have, and the Round 1 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in pick 56. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 87th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A reach on Jaden Crumedy in the 216th pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Value with a capital V on Jordan Magee in Round 7, Pick 13, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, M.J. Devonshire in slot 244, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
