Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: cornerback is exactly as bare as it was. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The cost of the Tagovailoa reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in slot 56 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 24. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the 124th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick174 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at pick 174 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A premium they did not need to pay, Taulia Tagovailoa a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Value with a capital V on Mark Perry in No. 245, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
