Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cowboys were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Maliek Collins by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Getting Beebe where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
By-the-book stuff, Jonathon Brooks at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
The board had Cooper Beebe higher than No. 87, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. is a better player than pick 174 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Value with a capital V on Myles Jones in pick No. 212, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 245th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
