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

Nobody had Adepoju Adebawore this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 51 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot.

Chambliss at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Fair-plus on Mansoor Delane, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sonny Styles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They paid up for Zakee Wheatley at slot 66 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at pick No. 115 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in No. 178 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick179 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 179 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They went early on DeAndre Moore Jr. in the 216th overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trinidad Chambliss
They will replay Trinidad Chambliss at slot 229 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
