Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Tracy Jr.: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tyrone Tracy Jr. slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at the 34th overall pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A slide stopped in pick No. 56, with Chris Braswell worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 DJ James
A clean, defensible pick in the 87th pick with a little surplus value in DJ James. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Trey Benson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Benson in pick 103. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in slot 174 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Taking Tyrone Tracy Jr. in Round 6, Pick 41 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.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They paid sticker price for Trevin Wallace in No. 233, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
