Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Daequan Hardy, 32 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Oladapo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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 Graham Barton
In pick No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Fair-plus on Edgerrin Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in slot 87 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 128 with a little surplus value in Johnny Wilson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
You do not let a safety like Kitan Oladapo reach the 174th pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They liked Jaden Crumedy enough to skip the value, taking him in the 216th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They paid a round early for Jordan Whittington in Round 7, Pick 13, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They reached a country mile for Daequan Hardy at No. 244, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
