Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Jaylan Ford, 63 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

McCoy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kingsley Suamataia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kingsley Suamataia in Round 1, Pick 26, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at No. 58 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They liked Audric Estime enough to skip the value, taking him in the 89th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 126th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
By-the-book stuff, Bryce Foster at pick No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Circle this one: Bru McCoy at slot 212 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson at the 247th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
