Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: offensive lineman is exactly as bare as it was.
The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
They paid up for Trey Benson at slot 56 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
A wild overpay on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at Round 4, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good price on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 173rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No drama and no debate, Sam Hartman went about where he belonged in pick 213. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
