RotSports DRAFTING FOR THECowboys
Draft Grade — Cowboys

Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Cowboys. Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Cowboys to leave a draft. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Hit on Walter Nolen and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Walter Nolen
In the 20th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
