Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named wide receiver, a need the Cowboys walked right past. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
Landing Reese that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Overton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early.
Pick28
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 28th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick115
Rnd4
Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler is a better player than No. 115 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155
Rnd5
Demond Claiborne
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Demond Claiborne at pick 155 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in Round 5, Pick 38 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179
Rnd5
Isaac Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac Smith in pick No. 179. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216
Rnd7
Cam Calhoun
No edge and no loss on Cam Calhoun in slot 216; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 229th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
