Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trevin Wallace at the 138th overall pick, a reach of 95 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick 25 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in slot 65 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88
Rnd3
McKinnley Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take McKinnley Jackson this early at Round 3, Pick 25. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They paid up for Braelon Allen at pick No. 90 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Circle this one: Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevin Wallace in the 138th overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick No. 142 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They will replay Luke McCaffrey at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 202 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216
Rnd6
Rasheen Ali
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rasheen Ali at pick 216 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226
Rnd7
M.J. Devonshire
They robbed the room for M.J. Devonshire here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233
Rnd7
Trente Jones
They barely believed it either: Trente Jones still on the board at Round 7, Pick 13. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244
Rnd7
Khalid Duke
They reached a country mile for Khalid Duke at slot 244, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson at the 255th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
