Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did enough to get by: C+.

The T'Vondre Sweat pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 36 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. However the rest shakes out, Puni at that price is a win they earned.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection.
Pick56 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at the 56th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Steal is underselling it; Dominick Puni at Round 4, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A straight-up fair deal on Curtis Jacobs at the 174th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 212 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board had Joshua Cephus higher than pick 245, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
