Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Cowboys walked right past. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 24th pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in pick No. 56. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in Round 3, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Eboigbe. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in No. 174, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at the Round 6 slot 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 Myles Cole
They paid sticker price for Myles Cole in pick 245, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
