Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Cowboys to leave a draft.

Getting Colson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge, reach and all.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at pick 56, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson is a better player than pick No. 87 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Washington in the 124th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in Round 5, Pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
