Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Braswell should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in pick No. 56 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Chris Braswell, the No. 32 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In slot 24 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Chris Braswell in pick No. 56, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on McKinnley Jackson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A reach on Christian Jones in No. 174; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 6, Pick 37 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
No drama and no debate, Tatum Bethune went about where he belonged in the 245th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
