Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Evan Anderson at No. 233. The Cowboys jumped the board by 39 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Means pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They went early on Trey Benson in No. 56, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in the 87th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Myles Harden
Myles Harden at pick 174 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at slot 216 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A big swing on Evan Anderson at Round 7, Pick 13, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means slid further than he should have, and pick 244 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
