Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cowboys, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They are betting Melton proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Fair-plus on Jonathon Brooks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton in the 84th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 3, Pick 26 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Graham Barton
They went early on Graham Barton in pick 90, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 91 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Davis at No. 92 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in the 126th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at No. 131 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
