Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Dasan McCullough; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 30 spots ahead at pick 215. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

With offensive lineman, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Landing Jennings that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In No. 12 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value.
Pick20 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. R Mason Thomas in Round 1, Pick 20 leaves offensive lineman, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
The board had cheaper options than Demond Claiborne at slot 112, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A real head-scratcher, Red Murdock in pick No. 150 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dasan McCullough. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at Round 7, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
