Draft Grade — Cowboys

Larceny in pick No. 125 lands the Cowboys a B, Smith and all.

Somebody in slot 125 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Tykee Smith, the No. 96 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, quarterback and other spots. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Taking Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 56 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A want over a need in the 125th pick: Tykee Smith adds a safety while wide receiver, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick173 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Austin Booker at pick 173 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They went early on Maurice Smith in Round 7, Pick 22, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
