Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Abrams-Draine fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kris Abrams-Draine fell into slot 174.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T.J. Tampa in the 56th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A tidy little value on Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Good price on Beau Brade in No. 124, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
They robbed the room for Kris Abrams-Draine here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 212 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
