Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Kalil Alexander, 48 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In slot 12 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love in pick 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Akheem Mesidor at edge rusher with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick152 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eric Rivers in pick No. 152. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at the 217th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Arnold
They robbed the room for Jackson Arnold here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
