Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Cowboys never got to the one that mattered most. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Braswell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in pick No. 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A quiet steal in No. 56: Chris Braswell for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 DJ James
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ James in slot 88. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kalen King
Value with a capital V on Kalen King in Round 5, Pick 11, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
