Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

The Cowboys spent real capital to be 51 picks early on Jordan Whittington, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. It is not that Eboigbe is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Turner. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 24th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in Round 2, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in pick 94 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at the 212th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Value with a capital V on Maurice Smith in No. 245, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
