Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 130 on Walter Rouse, a name most had 110 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Cowing falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In pick 30 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Haynes in pick No. 62, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, McKinnley Jackson at the 93rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Walter Rouse
A real head-scratcher, Walter Rouse in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tahj Brooks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tahj Brooks this early at slot 174. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Circle this one: Michael Barrett at Round 6, Pick 37 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jacob Cowing in the 251st overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
