Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Jacoby Windmon. He came off 125 spots early, and the room will hear about it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Neyor pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Jonathon Brooks at slot 56, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They did well to land McKinnley Jackson in the 92nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in pick No. 124 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jacoby Windmon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacoby Windmon in pick 174, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at No. 207 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Green
No drama and no debate, Jalen Green went about where he belonged in pick No. 212. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick245 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Neyor still on the board at the 245th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
