Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named offensive lineman, a need the Cowboys walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Martinez. Every board in the league had Egbuka lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 20 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They jumped the gun on TreVeyon Henderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in Round 2, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Fair-plus on Carson Schwesinger, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andrew Mukuba in the 85th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 149 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez is a better player than the 174th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
