Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Alexander should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Bear Alexander, the No. 67 name on the board, sitting there at slot 118 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Wilson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Kewan Lacy
By-the-book stuff, Kewan Lacy at slot 45 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Bear Alexander reach pick No. 118 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ben Roberts
Steal is underselling it; Ben Roberts at Round 4, Pick 23 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in pick 130 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick223 Rnd7 Eric Singleton Jr.
Taking Eric Singleton Jr. in the 223rd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
Smith Snowden at the 256th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
