Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Christian Jones at slot 174 will need to, sitting 23 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Beebe steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in pick No. 56, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A reach on Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 24; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 174th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
By-the-book stuff, Myles Jones at the 212th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A clean, defensible pick in No. 245 with a little surplus value in Joshua Cephus. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
