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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Khyree Jackson at pick No. 74, roughly 31 spots before his name belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
The board had cheaper options than Kingsley Suamataia at the 43rd pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Nothing to complain about; Graham Barton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They reached a country mile for Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid a round early for Audric Estime in Round 3, Pick 24, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at No. 110 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in pick No. 125 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaiah Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at No. 213 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick241 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
A tidy little value on Phil Jurkovec in the 241st pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
Fair-plus on Jeremy Flax, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
