Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let McGlothern fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dwight McGlothern, the 233rd pick, roughly 72 picks past where he belonged.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 24th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Good price on Edgerrin Cooper in slot 56, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright slipping to Round 3, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick 174 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Fair-plus on Nathaniel Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to No. 233, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Value with a capital V on Tayvion Robinson in the 244th pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
