Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Cowboys walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The cost of the Jones reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 24th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in slot 87; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A reach for Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 38; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
They let Miyan Williams come to them and pounced at pick 212. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Fair-plus on Eric Gentry, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
