Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
A polished, purposeful haul earns the Cowboys a A-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Cowboys never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The veteran additions, Henry To'oTo'o chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The Reese pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

In the end it comes back to Arvell Reese, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 25th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick112 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
Fair-plus on D'Angelo Ponds, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in slot 177 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jahiem White
No edge and no loss on Jahiem White in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at the 232nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They read the board right and Barion Brown was the payoff at pick No. 245. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
