Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Flournoy fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Ryan Flournoy, the No. 203 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 233.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at the 24th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Fair-plus on Junior Colson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 174. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the 216th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
Taking Ryan Flournoy in No. 233 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
