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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Anthony Gould tumbling to the Cowboys in the 233rd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 24 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 DJ James
Taking DJ James in the 87th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A tidy little value on McKinnley Jackson in No. 127, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in the 174th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
They barely believed it either: Cody Schrader still on the board at pick No. 216. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick 233 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Steal is underselling it; Fabien Lovett at Round 7, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
