Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Adepoju Adebawore, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Love to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 21 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Adon Shuler at the 113th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A premium they did not need to pay, Jacob Rodriguez a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 179th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at pick No. 181 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick217 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They reached a country mile for Trey Zuhn III at pick 217, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
The board had cheaper options than De'Zhaun Stribling at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
