Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Mahogany fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Christian Mahogany sat on the board until the 124th overall pick, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 87th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Circle this one: Christian Mahogany at slot 124 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 38 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 204th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
No edge and no loss on Myles Jones in No. 212; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Cephus in No. 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Somehow Jase McClellan was still sitting there in pick 245, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
