Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They are betting Sundell proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Kevin Strong gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 27 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the 56th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 7 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
They went early on MarShawn Lloyd in slot 87, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A straight-up fair deal on Khristian Boyd at No. 174, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jalen Sundell
They reached a country mile for Jalen Sundell at pick No. 216, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 233rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A reach on Kimani Vidal in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
