ValueB NeedC TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Cowboys chose the head-scratcher, spending pick No. 20 on Cashius Howell with wide receiver, cornerback and other spots still wide open.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 David Bailey
In No. 12 they get juice off the edge. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Cashius Howell in the 20th pick leaves wide receiver, cornerback and other spots for later.
