Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Cowboys: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Jalen Green in the 177th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Simpson at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A clean, defensible pick in the 51st pick with a little surplus value in Patrick Paul. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in the 61st overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 9 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 83 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 87 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached a country mile for Leonard Taylor III at pick 92, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 125 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in the 153rd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
You do not let a cornerback like Jaylin Simpson reach pick No. 173 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jalen Green
They reached into another round for Jalen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and De'Corian Clark at the Round 6 slot is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
A conviction pick on Walter Rouse at Round 7, Pick 22 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
