Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA FutureB+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Cowboys.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Shaun Dolac, 92 picks early at the Round 7 slot.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Tyler Allgeier deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick No. 15 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 44 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at the 149th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Batty in the 174th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at Round 6, Pick 28. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in No. 211 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy little value on Isaac TeSlaa in the 239th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at slot 247, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
