Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Keyon Ware-Hudson, 72 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reese at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Nice patience on Arvell Reese, who had no business lasting to the Round 1 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at No. 20 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
Fair-plus on D'Angelo Ponds, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Le'Veon Moss this early at Round 5, Pick 12. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
The board had cheaper options than Rayshaun Benny at the 167th overall pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
They went early on Raylen Wilson in slot 177, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Keyon Ware-Hudson
Keyon Ware-Hudson at pick No. 215 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Smith at the 221st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick225 Rnd7 Micah Morris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Micah Morris. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
