Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for DeMonte Capehart. He came off 54 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while wide receiver and tight end went begging.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
They took Dallas Turner at par in the 15th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Chop Robinson adds an edge rusher and leaves wide receiver and tight end untouched.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 46th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Good price on Kiran Amegadjie in slot 56, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A slide stopped in No. 87, with Payton Wilson worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 124 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 174th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at No. 212. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
