Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Christian Gray, 116 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Thomas is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.

The Coleman Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

So much rides on T.J. Parker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Parker at the 13th pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick24 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, R Mason Thomas adds an edge rusher and leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at No. 113 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vincent Anthony Jr.. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick178 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 38. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 179 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
A real head-scratcher, Da'Shawn Womack in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Christian Gray
Christian Gray at the 232nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
