Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Evan Anderson at the 205th overall pick, roughly 68 spots before his name belonged.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Barrett falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
The board had cheaper options than Audric Estime at the 87th pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at the 110th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in Round 4, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 192 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones slid further than he should have, and No. 212 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Value said wait; Hayden Hatten in pick No. 245 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
