Draft Grade — Cowboys

More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it. Every other box got a look, but wide receiver did not. The Cowboys will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Melton. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
JC Latham
In No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jonathon Brooks at slot 56 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87
Rnd3
Max Melton
They read the board right and Max Melton was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
