Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Clark fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: De'Corian Clark, pick 247, roughly 74 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Ogunbiyi to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. With cornerback, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 26th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They let Patrick Paul come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 89 leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick126 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slipping to pick 126 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 174th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Value said wait; Aki Ogunbiyi in Round 6, Pick 37 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in slot 247 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
