Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 245 lands the Cowboys a B, Hardy and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Daequan Hardy tumbling to the Cowboys in Round 7, Pick 25 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In slot 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in pick 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No edge and no loss on Marist Liufau in No. 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Good price on Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 124, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 38 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at the 212th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
You do not let a cornerback like Daequan Hardy reach the 245th pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
