Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dallas Gant at pick 216, a reach of 102 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Newton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Malik Washington
A big swing on Malik Washington at pick No. 60, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
A reach for Kamren Kinchens in pick 87; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Watson
A real head-scratcher, Blake Watson in Round 4, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty'Ron Hopper in the 144th pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dallas Gant
They reached into another round for Dallas Gant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They reached a country mile for Frank Crum at the 233rd pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Jordan Whittington for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
