Draft Grade — Cowboys

Larceny in No. 112 lands the Cowboys a B, Ramsey and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Kamari Ramsey, the No. 73 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 112. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 20th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in slot 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
They will replay Kamari Ramsey at pick 112 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 152 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
No edge and no loss on J'Mari Taylor in the 177th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick180 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes in Round 5, Pick 40 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Fair-plus on Keyshaun Elliott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
