Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Charles Turner III, 71 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ford.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 30th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in No. 87. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid up for Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 27 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Good price on Christian Jones in pick No. 135, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at slot 174 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy bit of business in the 216th pick, where Jaylan Ford graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
They reached into another round for Charles Turner III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in Round 7, Pick 13 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A big swing on Frank Crum at pick 244, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
