Draft Grade — Cowboys

The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Cowboys walked right past. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
They will need Ioane to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
CJ Allen
They paid a round early for CJ Allen in Round 1, Pick 20, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
