Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys bet big and early on Cedric Gray, 26 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Proctor value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 29th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in slot 73. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A wild overpay on Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 37, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They paid up for McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 107 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in No. 173, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
The board had Nathan Thomas higher than pick No. 216, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 233rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Whittington at pick 244, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
