Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Cowboys steal Jones and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Trente Jones, the 244th pick, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged.

The Bailey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 24th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Nice patience on T'Vondre Sweat, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at Round 3, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
They reached into another round for Nathaniel Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey at No. 216 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A tidy bit of business in the 233rd overall pick, where Jordan Magee graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trente Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 244 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
