Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Cowboys left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If Hardy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in pick No. 87, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid up for Michael Barrett at slot 174 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
A reach on Daequan Hardy in the 212th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in No. 245 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
