Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Carson should have been long gone. The Cowboys pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Caelen Carson, slot 87, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at the 56th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 87 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at slot 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ben Sinnott at Round 5, Pick 38. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 212th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board had Nathaniel Watson higher than the Round 7 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
