Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Greenfield should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Garret Greenfield, the No. 216 name on the board, sitting there at slot 244 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in No. 56, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick 128 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid a round early for Frank Gore Jr. in the 216th pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miyan Williams in Round 7, Pick 13, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Steal is underselling it; Garret Greenfield at slot 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
