Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cowboys did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

Williams has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That Beebe pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 30 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They jumped the gun on Javon Bullard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe is a better player than the 87th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No edge and no loss on Bucky Irving in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at the 174th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at pick 219 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 245th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
