Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Cowboys let Hopper fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ty'Ron Hopper had no business being available in the 212th pick, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 31st pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They did well to land Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 56, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They took Jonathon Brooks at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They barely believed it either: Ja'Tavion Sanders still on the board at slot 87. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dominick Puni reach pick 124 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
The board fumbled Ty'Ron Hopper all the way to pick No. 212, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the 245th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
