Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B-.

The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. T'Vondre Sweat went at pick 32, a good 28 picks before the board was ready.

Clark at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback and tight end went begging. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 32 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in slot 64. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 87th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
A curious use of No. 126. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a safety in James Williams did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
The board had Jaylen Wright higher than Round 5, Pick 33, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 174th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones slipping to pick No. 212 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 220th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Nothing to complain about; Eric Gentry went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
