Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Gould: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Anthony Gould, the No. 142 name on the board, stolen at the 216th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Cowboys indulged a want in Solomon while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A tidy bit of business in slot 63, where Jonathon Brooks graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in pick No. 87 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in No. 123 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They read the board right and Mekhi Wingo was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board had Javon Foster higher than the 127th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick174 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Circle this one: Beau Brade at the 174th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at slot 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at No. 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jha'Quan Jackson in Round 7, Pick 24, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
