Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent Round 7, Pick 3 on Kalil Alexander, a name most had 48 spots down the list.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Arnold. With cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In pick No. 12 they get juice off the edge. More want than need.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 25 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Akheem Mesidor adds an edge rusher and leaves cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A clean, defensible pick in No. 152 with a little surplus value in Eric Rivers. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in slot 177 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
They reached a country mile for Kalil Alexander at the 217th pick, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Arnold
Jackson Arnold in slot 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
