Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did enough to get by: C+.

Some picks age like wine; Dasan McCullough at pick 221 will need to, sitting 41 spots clear of his grade.

Getting Fifita where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Howell pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at offensive lineman, linebacker and other spots.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

If T.J. Parker and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In slot 12 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
A curious use of pick 20. Offensive lineman, linebacker and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Cashius Howell did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Boubacar Traore at edge rusher with offensive lineman, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick151 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
They paid sticker price for J'Mari Taylor in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
By-the-book stuff, Eric McAlister at No. 178 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman in pick No. 215 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
A real head-scratcher, Dasan McCullough in No. 221 is miles ahead of his ranking. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick225 Rnd7 Noah Fifita
Taking Noah Fifita in pick 225 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
