Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Cowboys would have aced it. Sam Hartman at No. 173 is 109 spots clear of where he belonged.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Barrett. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Fair-plus on Nate Wiggins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 56 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick173 Rnd5 Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in No. 173, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Nice patience on Joe Milton III, who had no business lasting to pick 213. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at slot 231 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 242nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
