Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the Round 4 slot on Derrick Moore, a name most had 40 spots down the list.

The Boettcher steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 12th overall pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick112 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Austin Romaine
Austin Romaine slipping to the 152nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 37, with Isaac Smith worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd7 Bryce Boettcher
Circle this one: Bryce Boettcher at pick 216 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
A wild overpay on Pat Coogan in the 229th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
