Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

NeedB-

FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Cowboys to leave a draft. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
They will need Styles to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
David Bailey
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a three-down second-level presence, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
