Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let Bailey fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Emani Bailey had no business being available in the 245th overall pick, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
The board fumbled Tyler Nubin all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They went early on Dominick Puni in the 87th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A reach for Cedric Gray in the 124th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They reached a country mile for Christian Jones at No. 174, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Circle this one: Julian Pearl at slot 212 is a fall that decides a draft. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick245 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
Taking Emani Bailey in pick No. 245 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
