Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 245th overall pick lands the Cowboys a B, Wright and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jaylen Wright slide 87 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In slot 24 they get a mismatch in the passing game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They went early on Zak Zinter in pick 87, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the 124th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 38 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
Somehow LaDarius Henderson was still sitting there in the 212th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaylen Wright
Taking Jaylen Wright in pick No. 245 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
