Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Cowboys.

The Olaivavega Ioane selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 26 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Olaivavega Ioane that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 12th overall pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
By-the-book stuff, R Mason Thomas at pick No. 20 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
