Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The war room fell hard for DeMonte Capehart, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 22: 33 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while linebacker, quarterback and other spots went begging.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 13 they get juice off the edge at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 56 on Chris Braswell with linebacker, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
Pick77 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 77th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at Round 3, Pick 24 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 113th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at No. 125 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Value said wait; Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 37 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They took Myles Jones at par in the 213th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
