justinjsmithstudio DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cowboys left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 56 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at No. 87 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Marist Liufau at pick No. 174 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
