Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Chandler Martin at pick 247, roughly 80 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bryant. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 12 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 44 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 76th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in No. 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They barely believed it either: Pat Bryant still on the board at slot 174. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick No. 204 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Hawes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop in slot 239 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick247 Rnd7 Chandler Martin
They talked themselves into Chandler Martin at the 247th pick, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
