Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kingsley Eguakun at pick 244 regardless, 55 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Getting Rosemy-Jacksaint where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Mike Evans pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at slot 56 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Corum in pick No. 87. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 174th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 216 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
No drama and no debate, Trevin Wallace went about where he belonged in No. 233. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
A big swing on Kingsley Eguakun at No. 244, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
