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

The Cowboys torched the value chart for Braelon Allen, taking him 50 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Pearl falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 56 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Value said wait; McKinnley Jackson in Round 3, Pick 24 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Owens in the 216th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick233 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Julian Pearl in slot 233, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They paid sticker price for Jordan Whittington in pick No. 244, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
