Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for King: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kalen King, the Round 7 slot, roughly 41 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every board in the league had Allen lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 24th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A big swing on Braelon Allen at slot 87, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kalen King
Kalen King at No. 233 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at the 244th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
