Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 119th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Zinter and grade out a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Cowboys, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Zinter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 2, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in slot 87 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Steal is underselling it; Zak Zinter at the 119th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in the 174th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They paid sticker price for Myles Jones in slot 212, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They went early on Carson Steele in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
