Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Cowboys were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Every board in the league had Neal lower, and that gap is the story. The Brade value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Worthy at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 94, where Ruke Orhorhoro graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
They took Adisa Isaac at par in slot 95, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 130th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
They talked themselves into Jonah Monheim at the 131st pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They barely believed it either: Beau Brade still on the board at Round 4, Pick 34. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Willie Roberts
A tidy little value on Willie Roberts in pick 212, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamal Hadden at the Round 7 slot is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
