Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B.

Some picks age like wine; Evan Anderson at the 233rd overall pick will need to, sitting 50 spots clear of his grade.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Barton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Devontez Walker at pick No. 67, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in the 87th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at slot 139 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A conviction pick on Marist Liufau at the 152nd pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
The board had Walter Rouse higher than pick No. 174, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
They liked Cedric Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 41. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick233 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the 233rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at No. 244 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
