The Dallas Cowboys selected 11 prospects from the 2021 NFL draft. After trading down in the first round and failing in an attempt to trade up in the second, they allowed the rest of the draft to fall to them and ended up selecting eight defensive players and three on offense.
The truth is it’s unknown how good or bad any of the players picked on any team will be until they get a chance to play, and play for multiple years. Pre-draft rankings were even more difficult in 2021 due to the lack of structured process and a fall-down of the normal banter between teams and media. Still, many analysts watch these prospects and weigh in on how they see the value of each team’s picks. So how did the Cowboys do? Here’s a list of draft grades for the Dallas Cowboys 2021 NFL draft.
