Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys let DeJean fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cooper DeJean, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at the 94th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will need Wilson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In the 32nd pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid sticker price for JT Tuimoloau in the 33rd overall pick, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick84 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Adisa Isaac, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 90 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in pick No. 92; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick 94 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in Round 3, Pick 34, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick No. 126 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
No edge and no loss on Justin Rogers in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A straight-up fair deal on Nehemiah Pritchett at pick 137, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in slot 165 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at Round 6, Pick 34 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
They went early on Eugene Asante in the 247th overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
