Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Matthew Jones, taking him 46 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 24 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 53rd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 85 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tory Horton
No drama and no debate, Tory Horton went about where he belonged in slot 88. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Zach Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at Round 4, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Fair-plus on Raheim Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Erick All
They took Erick All at par in No. 212, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at pick 242, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
