Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jowon Briggs, 24 picks early at No. 244.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in slot 43. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in No. 56, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A reach on Trey Benson in the 74th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 79 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanor Bortolini a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in Round 7, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in the 244th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
