Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

Nobody else had Isaiah Davis anywhere near the 128th overall pick. The Cowboys did, by 28 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Wallace makes the weekend a net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 28 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
A conviction pick on Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 2, Pick 24 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 87th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
A big swing on Isaiah Davis at pick No. 128, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reach on Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
They took Grayson Murphy at par in No. 174, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick216 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They reached into another round for Andrew Raym, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They went early on KT Leveston in pick No. 233, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in pick 244 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
