Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Zion Logue, 42 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCormick. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 24 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A quiet steal in the 56th overall pick: Keon Coleman for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They liked Audric Estime enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Taking Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 38 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Fair-plus on Drake Nugent, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in slot 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at No. 244, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
