Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Cowboys lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 26 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A reach on Trey Benson in slot 44; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They talked themselves into Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in Round 4, Pick 17, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in pick 173 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick No. 210 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick247 Rnd7 Khris Bogle
A big swing on Khris Bogle at the 247th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
