Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Toles, taking him 48 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Fautanu steal is the beam this whole class leans on. 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
Pick24 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 56th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in pick No. 125 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Jefferson at the 173rd pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Magee in slot 213. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jordan Toles
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Toles in pick No. 242, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
