Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Cowboys: C+.

The Adepoju Adebawore pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 48 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while cornerback, quarterback and other spots went begging.

So much rides on LT Overton that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 LT Overton
In pick 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick21 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
A want over a need in the Round 1 slot: Cashius Howell adds an edge rusher while cornerback, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick113 Rnd4 CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter at the 113th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A clean, defensible pick in slot 152 with a little surplus value in Eric Rivers. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 Lander Barton
They jumped the gun on Lander Barton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
A wild overpay on Adepoju Adebawore in pick No. 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
They liked Roderick Kearney enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 228. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
