Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Schrader. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Cody Schrader, the No. 165 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 212 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Jones has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in No. 56. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in the 87th pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A quiet steal in pick 124: Tyrice Knight for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 174 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Circle this one: Cody Schrader at the 212th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Myles Cole
A reach on Myles Cole in pick No. 245; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
