Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Isaiah Williams fell into No. 233.

Reaching for Zinter left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 28th pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A big swing on Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A reach on Justin Eboigbe in No. 134; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 216th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
The board fumbled Isaiah Williams all the way to slot 233, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 244 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
