Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB+
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Cowboys reached some 23 spots for Christian Jones, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 40; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in pick 56. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid up for Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 24 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
A reach on Tyrice Knight in the 102nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 124 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at pick No. 174, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They paid sticker price for Myles Jones in the 212th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Fair-plus on Joshua Cephus, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
