Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Rylie Mills; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 45 spots ahead at pick 212.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Allen that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kingsley Suamataia
In the 26th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 58 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 126 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
A reach for Jaden Hicks in Round 5, Pick 38; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick212 Rnd6 Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at the 212th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Aki Ogunbiyi
They went early on Aki Ogunbiyi in Round 7, Pick 27, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
