Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Marvin Jones Jr. in the 221st pick.

The Ramsey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamari Ramsey in the 112th pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at pick 152 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in No. 177 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. in pick No. 180 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
They reached into another round for Marvin Jones Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia in the 225th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
