Grade: C+

Best Pick: CB Shavon Ravel Jr., No. 76 Overall

What We Liked: The Ravel pick was impressive value for the spot. The once-incredible Cowboys cornerback room took a major step back and Ravel should be able to make it afloat again. Tyler Booker is a really good player who fits with the scheme of the Cowboys with his overwhelming power profile. The Cowboys addressed the majority of their needs and at least should have new competition at the spot.

Not Sure About: Can Donovan Ezeiruaku keep up his high production in the pros when he's at an athletic disadvantage? The value is better in the second than his first-round projection, but it still is a worrying projection. Jaydon Blue does not seem equipped to take on a bellcow role and feels like more of a special teams add.
