Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in Round 4, Pick 17 lands the Cowboys a A-, Winston Jr. and all.

The real work happened on the phones. The Cowboys fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr.. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Jonathan Taylor pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They will need Rivers to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In the end it comes back to Matthew Golden, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 14 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Fair-plus on T.J. Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Nice patience on Quinshon Judkins, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 119th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
They jumped the gun on Jalen Rivers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tommi Hill in pick No. 174. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
