Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Cowboys walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

If Reimer pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hadden.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
No edge and no loss on Adisa Isaac in No. 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at pick 94 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 32. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at slot 130 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 131st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
They paid up for Isaiah Adams at the 134th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They took Jack Nelson at par in Round 5, Pick 38, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Luke Reimer
Luke Reimer at No. 212 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamal Hadden at slot 251. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
