Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Cowboys won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Justin Rogers at slot 112, a reach of 45 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rice. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 29 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette is a better player than pick No. 38 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
The board fumbled Jordan Morgan all the way to slot 43, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kalen King
Circle this one: Kalen King at the 64th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick 77 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in pick No. 97. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Somehow Brenden Rice was still sitting there in pick 100, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A quiet steal in No. 105: Bucky Irving for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 112th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 4, Pick 33 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They paid up for LaDarius Henderson at slot 145 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A slide stopped in the 169th overall pick, with Edefuan Ulofoshio worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in No. 171, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 245 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
