Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Bowen: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Drayk Bowen at Round 5, Pick 39 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Martin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In the 20th pick they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Duce Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Lance Heard
Lance Heard at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Cole
Chris Cole at Round 2, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 LJ Martin
They paid up for LJ Martin at the 83rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. in slot 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Greg Johnson at pick 112 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers at pick No. 127 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Coen Echols
A reach on Coen Echols in the 150th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Drayk Bowen
Circle this one: Drayk Bowen at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Edrees Farooq
They will replay Edrees Farooq at pick No. 215 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick221 Rnd7 Boo Carter
Boo Carter at pick 221 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
They paid sticker price for Stephiylan Green in the 225th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
