Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Pritchett: B.

Call it larceny. Nehemiah Pritchett sat on the board until the Round 5 slot, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Gray to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 29th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 56th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
The board had Trey Benson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 92 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at slot 124 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 174, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They paid sticker price for Myles Jones in Round 6, Pick 37, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in No. 245 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
