Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureC
The Cowboys won the night they stopped Harden from sliding. Grade: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Myles Harden, slot 233, roughly 65 picks past where he belonged. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

Reaching for Knight left real value on the table behind him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 3 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slid further than he should have, and the 58th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 87 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
The board fumbled Brandon Coleman all the way to slot 126, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at pick 169 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
They talked themselves into Jordan Whittington at the 216th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Myles Harden
They will replay Myles Harden at pick No. 233 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They robbed the room for KT Leveston here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
