Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Evan Anderson went at the 233rd pick, a good 50 picks before the board was ready. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Beebe.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 24th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in No. 56, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
A conviction pick on Audric Estime at Round 3, Pick 24 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trente Jones
They reached a country mile for Trente Jones at slot 174, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick No. 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A big swing on Zion Logue at pick 244, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
