Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureA
Linton should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Steve Linton slide 31 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Spending an early pick on defensive back with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Of all the spots to shop, they chose defensive back. Cooper DeJean in the Round 2 slot leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick76 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Nice patience on Byron Murphy II, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 12. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Graham Barton
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in pick No. 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 126th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III slipping to pick 174 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Steve Linton
A edge rusher of that caliber at slot 212 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Whittington at No. 233 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They paid a round early for Xavier Truss in the 247th pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
