Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Cowboys started one anyway for Adepoju Adebawore, 55 picks ahead of schedule. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Ioane pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 12 they get a featured back at fair value.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 20th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in slot 112 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
They paid sticker price for Skyler Gill-Howard in pick No. 150, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
They took Gunner Stockton at par in pick 177, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
They paid up for Trebor Pena at No. 221 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 James Smith
James Smith in pick 225 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
