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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Myles Cole at the 212th overall pick, roughly 35 spots before his name belonged.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Hit on Payton Wilson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They went early on Payton Wilson in No. 55, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Johnny Wilson
They talked themselves into Johnny Wilson at the 56th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 82nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in slot 86, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 23; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Fair-plus on Jarrian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 JD Bertrand
They paid a round early for JD Bertrand in Round 5, Pick 38, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A conviction pick on Jase McClellan at pick No. 193 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Cole
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick245 Rnd7 Demorie Tate
They paid up for Demorie Tate at the 245th pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
