Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B+. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Solomon Byrd, 42 picks early at pick 231.
That Arnold pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers in slot 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at No. 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
They paid sticker price for Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 11, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick No. 87 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 173rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 6, Pick 38 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231
Rnd7
Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd at slot 231 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at pick No. 242 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
