Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys torched the value chart for McKinnley Jackson, taking him 28 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 DJ James
They did well to land DJ James in pick No. 56, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the 95th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 233rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bub Means
No edge and no loss on Bub Means in the 244th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
