Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Smith: B.

Call it larceny. Tykee Smith sat on the board until slot 216, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

The cost of the Sweat reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 56 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 65 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
A straight-up fair deal on MarShawn Lloyd at the 87th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
You do not let a linebacker like Trevin Wallace reach Round 5, Pick 38 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
A safety of that caliber at the 216th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
They will replay Jha'Quan Jackson at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eric Watts
Eric Watts in slot 240 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Value with a capital V on Ryan Watts in the 244th pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
