Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Brady Cook selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 143 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Skattebo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 12 they get a go-to option on the outside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They reached into another round for Alfred Collins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Fair-plus on Malachi Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 Brady Cook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brady Cook well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in pick No. 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
They talked themselves into Joey Slackman at No. 209, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
They reached a country mile for Cooper Mays at Round 7, Pick 31, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
