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

The Cowboys did not so much draft T'Vondre Sweat as overpay for him, 36 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. The Tampa pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Hit on T'Vondre Sweat and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 24 they get an anchor for the defensive front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A tidy bit of business in the 56th pick, where T.J. Tampa graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Haynes at Round 3, Pick 24. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They paid sticker price for Justin Eboigbe in the 124th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They liked Christian Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Cephus well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
They reached a country mile for Jordan Toles at pick 245, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
