Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Evan Anderson, 61 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, running back and other spots still on the board. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 115th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Nothing to complain about; Kris Abrams-Draine went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in Round 5, Pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the 212th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A conviction pick on Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 236 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
