Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Elijah Roberts; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at the 149th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harris. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They liked TreVeyon Henderson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 12. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in pick No. 76 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elijah Roberts well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
A tidy little value on Caleb Rogers in pick 204, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Jackson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A tidy bit of business in No. 239, where Jermari Harris graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A big swing on Nick Martin at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
