Draft Grade — Cowboys

Grand theft in pick 174: the Cowboys steal Rice and grade out a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Brenden Rice slide, and the Cowboys were the ones holding the card at slot 174. Highway robbery.

The Logue pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid a round early for Patrick Paul in slot 56, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A quiet steal in pick 87: Jaylen Wright for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 174th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in pick No. 216 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Value with a capital V on Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 233rd pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
