Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Christian Jones. He came off 23 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Jordan to cover a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
They did well to land Amarius Mims in No. 27, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 56. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the 87th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
They liked Tyrice Knight enough to skip the value, taking him in the 104th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 124 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at Round 6, Pick 37 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They let Jawhar Jordan come to them and pounced at pick 225. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Gentry. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
