Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Elijah Simmons pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 94 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jacobs.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A tidy little value on Michael Hall Jr. in the 87th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 124 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They paid sticker price for Jacob Cowing in pick 174, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs is a better player than No. 212 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Elijah Simmons
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Simmons this early at pick 245. The roster fit checks out.
