Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Cowboys did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Tuimoloau has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 12 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the 39th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 76 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
