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

Call it larceny. Barion Brown sat on the board until slot 208, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If Dellinger pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In pick No. 16 they get a load in the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick47 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
They took Shavon Revel Jr. at par in slot 47, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at Round 3, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in pick 117, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Lander Barton
A slide stopped in the 120th overall pick, with Lander Barton worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jonah Coleman
Nice patience on Jonah Coleman, who had no business lasting to No. 169. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dane Key
They reached into another round for Dane Key, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 171 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at pick 189 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 208th overall pick 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.
