Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Jowon Briggs, taking him 47 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

However the rest shakes out, Holker at that price is a win they earned. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper Beebe at pick 56. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They read the board right and MarShawn Lloyd was the payoff at pick No. 111. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 146th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
You do not let a tight end like Dallin Holker reach No. 174 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau slipping to slot 182 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Value said wait; Javontae Jean-Baptiste in No. 185 says they were not listening. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rasheen Ali at slot 216 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in the 221st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
No drama and no debate, Michael Barrett went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They took KT Leveston at par in the 244th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at pick No. 256 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in pick 257 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
