Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Patrick Payton at the 177th overall pick will need to, sitting 70 spots clear of his grade.

Landing Thompson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
They read the board right and Jeremiyah Love was the payoff at No. 12. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick20 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They took Jaishawn Barham at par in pick 112, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trey Moore
A wild overpay on Trey Moore in slot 150, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in the 177th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick215 Rnd6 Brenen Thompson
Somehow Brenen Thompson was still sitting there in the 215th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at No. 221 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
