Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Fatheree II: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Reuben Fatheree II slide 20 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Eichenberg to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In No. 30 they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid up for Tommy Eichenberg at Round 3, Pick 30 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
They paid a round early for Payton Wilson in slot 130, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Fair-plus on Lathan Ransom, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick212 Rnd6 Steve Linton
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steve Linton. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick251 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
They robbed the room for Reuben Fatheree II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
