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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cowboys were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will need Isaac to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Isaac pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, running back and other spots.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 42 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A slide stopped in the 61st overall pick, with Brandon Dorlus worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 89 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in Round 3, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Adisa Isaac adds an edge rusher while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick131 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 131st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
