Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cowboys left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Paul at that price is a win they earned. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 30 they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A quiet steal in the 62nd pick: Patrick Paul for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They took Smael Mondon Jr. at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
