Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Worthy fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Xavier Worthy, the No. 55 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 24. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 24 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They let Jonathon Brooks come to them and pounced at No. 56. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Worthy in pick 87, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
A reach on Fabien Lovett in the 174th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
By-the-book stuff, Trevin Wallace at the 233rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
