Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB
More right than wrong for the Cowboys, and a B to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent the 245th overall pick on Jayson Jones, a name most had 51 spots down the list. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Smith-Wade falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 24 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the 67th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slipping to Round 3, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at slot 124, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick141 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They paid a round early for Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 141, more than the board wanted. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Christian Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in the 181st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
A reach for Brian Ugwu in slot 204; a little patience would have been rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevor Keegan in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
A wild overpay on Jayson Jones in the 245th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
