Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in pick 212 lands the Cowboys a B-, Alexander and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Zy Alexander had no business being available in slot 212, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Every board in the league had Henderson lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. It is not that Isaac is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value.
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A reach on Devontez Walker in slot 89; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A surprising call. With linebacker, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 90 on Adisa Isaac, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
The board had cheaper options than Beaux Limmer at the 126th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
By-the-book stuff, Jack Nelson at No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Zy Alexander in the 212th pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 247 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
