Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Taylen Green in No. 190. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Getting Moss where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 13th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at pick 44 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 78 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Value said wait; Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick No. 150 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Theo Wease Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
No edge and no loss on Shemar Turner in Round 5, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eli Stowers. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They reached into another round for Taylen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Le'Veon Moss in the 209th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
