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

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Phillip Webb, 99 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Landing Bassa that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 44th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They paid up for Gunnar Helm at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at Round 5, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaydon Blue. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Good price on Ollie Gordon II in pick 174, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in No. 204 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They read the board right and Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson was the payoff at the 211th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at Round 7, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in the 247th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
