Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Gould: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Anthony Gould got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at Round 6, Pick 41. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 24th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 24, with Jonathon Brooks worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at slot 87 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 James Williams
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Anthony Gould in pick 216, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Steal is underselling it; Trente Jones at pick No. 233 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at No. 244 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
