Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent slot 212 on Evan Anderson, a name the board had a full 61 spots lower.

The Irving pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A tidy little value on Troy Fautanu in slot 36, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in pick No. 56, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
No drama and no debate, Caelen Carson went about where he belonged in No. 67. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at Round 3, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 102nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
The board had Ainias Smith higher than pick 124, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
No edge and no loss on Jaylan Ford in No. 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at pick No. 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 245th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
