Three Years Later, Sports Illustrated Upgrades Grade For 2013 Cowboys Draft From C+ to B+

Widely ridiculed for picking Travis Frederick at the time, the 2013 Cowboys draft looks much better three years later.

Three years ago, in grades published immediately after the 2013 draft, Chris Burke of Sports Illustrated panned the Cowboys draft:

The Travis Frederick selection was a reach. A major reach. Fellow C Brian Schwenke was taken 76 picks later and it's hard to say Frederick is noticeably better. It got better from there, with TE Gavin Escobar, WR Terrance Williams and S J.J. Wilcox, for starters. The Cowboys, though, still need help at RT, possibly a backup RB, another pass rusher and some linebacker help.
