Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Trevin Wallace, 61 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In the 27th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
The board had cheaper options than Kingsley Suamataia at pick 56, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
They took MarShawn Lloyd at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trevin Wallace
They reached into another round for Trevin Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at No. 138 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 38 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick 216 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bub Means
Nothing to complain about; Bub Means went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
By-the-book stuff, Kendall Milton at the 244th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
