Future B-

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Cowboys watched Jha'Quan Jackson slide 67 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.6 · Pick 38 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
The board had Amarius Mims higher than pick 38, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 62
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray in the 106th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
Mohamed Kamara in slot 130 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.10 · Pick 146 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 143
Good price on Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 146, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 150
They robbed the room for Tyrone Tracy Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 187
They took Cornelius Johnson at par in No. 182, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
Nathaniel Watson at the 216th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 204
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 1, with Julian Pearl worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 206
Rasheen Ali in the 227th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 191
They barely believed it either: Johnny Dixon still on the board at No. 233. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.22 · Pick 242 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 229
A quiet steal in pick 242: Tatum Bethune for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 177
Circle this one: Jha'Quan Jackson at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
