Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Hoover: D+.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Every board in the league had Miller lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Hoover falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 13 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quincy Rhodes Jr.. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick69 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
No drama and no debate, Daylen Everette went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nicholas Singleton in the 104th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A wild overpay on Blake Miller in pick No. 113, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A conviction pick on Jacob Rodriguez at slot 152 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Nwankpa a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick181 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills in the 181st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They talked themselves into Bryce Foster at No. 217, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Josh Hoover
The board fumbled Josh Hoover all the way to the 228th pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
