Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: David Ugwoegbu, 87 picks early at the 244th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The McGlothern steal is the beam this whole class leans on. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 29 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper Beebe in the 56th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A clean, defensible pick in the 73rd pick with a little surplus value in Patrick Paul. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in No. 87, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A quiet steal in pick 174: Dwight McGlothern for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at slot 233 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
A swing that ignored the value entirely, David Ugwoegbu well ahead of where he belonged. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
