Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Beck: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Carson Beck had no business being available in pick No. 152, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Thieneman pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 13 they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick27 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 27: Anthony Hill Jr. for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 2 slot on Dillon Thieneman with cornerback, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A clean, defensible pick in the 113th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jack Endries. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at pick 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Justice Haynes
Taking Justice Haynes in pick No. 177 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
The board had Trebor Pena higher than slot 216, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
