Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys won the night they stopped James from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. D.J. James at the 87th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The cost of the Keegan reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 D.J. James
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They jumped the gun on Cedric Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Joe Milton III in pick 174. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in No. 204. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 212th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley slid further than he should have, and slot 219 is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They took Eric Gentry at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at pick No. 246 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
