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

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Cowboys came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Simpson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 30 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They paid sticker price for Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 2, Pick 30, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in No. 81, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tory Horton
By-the-book stuff, Tory Horton at the 91st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Simpson at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 126 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
