Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 48 spots for George Gumbs Jr., and value like that does not grow back. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wright.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 12 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot.
Pick20 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
T.J. Parker in Round 1, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Max Llewellyn, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
No drama and no debate, Ted Hurst went about where he belonged in the 150th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 177th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 215 is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright at pick 225 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
