Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Phillips. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Andru Phillips at slot 213 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Estime reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Will Hernandez leading the way.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In No. 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at Round 3, Pick 24 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
They paid up for Mason McCormick at the 90th pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight slid further than he should have, and pick No. 124 is lovely value for the linebacker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in the 125th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darius Robinson in pick 128. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio slipping to slot 173 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
The board fumbled Andru Phillips all the way to slot 213, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Ugwu at the 242nd pick is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
