Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Thomas Jr.: B+.

When a board-topper like Brian Thomas Jr. slides to the 87th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Cowboys did not.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 30 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Circle this one: Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 24 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick No. 92 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in No. 93, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A tidy bit of business in the 113th pick, where Cole Bishop graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 174th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A reach for Rasheen Ali in pick 196; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy little value on Jaylan Ford in slot 209, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A straight-up fair deal on Nathaniel Watson at the 216th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at the 233rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Somehow Johnny Dixon was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 24, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
