Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: B-.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Bisontis reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 21st overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Fair-plus on Jake Slaughter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A conviction pick on Chase Bisontis at Round 4, Pick 13 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 152 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terion Stewart. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
A clean, defensible pick in the 181st pick with a little surplus value in Aaron Anderson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner in slot 217 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Khalil Barnes
A straight-up fair deal on Khalil Barnes at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
