Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: DeMonte Capehart in the Round 7 slot, a good 152 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Harden at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 31st pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They did well to land Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A conviction pick on Xavier Legette at pick 63 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 24. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylan Ford this early at pick No. 173. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Value said wait; Javontae Jean-Baptiste in slot 209 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Circle this one: Myles Harden at slot 213 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in Round 7, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
