Solo707 DRAFTING FOR THECowboys

Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B- to prove it. There is reaching, and then there is Shilo Sanders at pick No. 239. The Cowboys jumped the board by 46 and dared it to prove them wrong.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Jeanty falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick No. 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at the 76th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
Good price on RJ Harvey in the 171st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 174. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They did well to land Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 204th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Karene Reid
Karene Reid at Round 6, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
They jumped the gun on Brandon Adams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
