Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Beaux Limmer pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 28 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Rakestraw Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will answer for taking safety early while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots went begging. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They liked T'Vondre Sweat enough to skip the value, taking him in the 44th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Circle this one: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 2, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro slid further than he should have, and pick No. 81 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
No drama and no debate, Gabriel Murphy went about where he belonged in slot 87. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Tykee Smith a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at pick 112 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dominick Puni at pick No. 118 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
A want over a need in No. 124: James Williams adds a safety while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
By-the-book stuff, Jaylan Ford at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevor Keegan. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Berger
Nice patience on Jalen Berger, who had no business lasting to slot 212. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 245th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Good price on Donovan Jennings in Round 7, Pick 29, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
