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

Nobody had Jordan Hall this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 50 spots to get him at pick No. 221. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In pick No. 20 they get a premier pass rusher. More want than need.
Pick112 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
They paid a round early for Demond Claiborne in slot 112, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Nwankpa. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick178 Rnd5 Ricardo Hallman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ricardo Hallman this early at the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 215th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
A conviction pick on Fernando Carmona at the 225th pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
