Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureD-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Tanor Bortolini, 44 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 24 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A quiet steal in the Round 1 slot: Rome Odunze for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick27 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 27 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A real head-scratcher, Justin Eboigbe in pick 125 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in slot 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
By-the-book stuff, JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in the 233rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in pick No. 237 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in Round 7, Pick 24 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
