Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

There is reaching, and then there is Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot. The Cowboys jumped the board by 23 and dared it to prove them wrong.

King falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick No. 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King in Round 2, Pick 24 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight slipping to the 124th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They reached a country mile for Christian Jones at slot 174, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick 212 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A straight-up fair deal on Eric Gentry at the 245th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
