Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

Nobody else had Eric Gentry anywhere near No. 228. The Cowboys did, by 91 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Downs pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 13th overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 21 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick113 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the 113th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
No drama and no debate, Le'Veon Moss went about where he belonged in slot 179. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Good price on Earnest Greene III in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Hartford in the 217th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick228 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 228th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
