Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: cornerback is exactly as bare as it was. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They are betting Logan Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In slot 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 62nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in pick 93, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 130 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
No drama and no debate, T.J. Sanders went about where he belonged in pick No. 174. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at Round 6, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kenny Logan Jr.. It adds depth where they could use a little.
