Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Cowboys get a C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Bryce Foster at slot 191, roughly 35 spots before his name belonged. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the 30th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at slot 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 191st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
They reached a country mile for Jahdae Barron at Round 6, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick212 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
A reach on Anthony Belton in pick 212; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Gray this early at No. 214. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
