Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Cowboys walked right past.

The Stroman steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 20th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Mike Washington Jr. at the 112th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at Round 5, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They took DJ Campbell at par in slot 177, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in No. 221 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 225, where Thaddeus Dixon graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
