B-
Dallas Cowboys
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

2024 NFL Draft

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Cowboys walked right past.
The Allen reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 56 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Braelon Allen at No. 87 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
