Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Cowboys a B+.

The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Myles Jones at No. 125 regardless, 79 picks early.

Getting Smith-Wade where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 57th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick No. 77 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey Benson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Benson in the 87th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
By-the-book stuff, Nelson Ceaser at pick 112 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Jaden Hicks, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick125 Rnd4 Myles Jones
A real head-scratcher, Myles Jones in pick No. 125 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 14 with a little surplus value in Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in pick 174, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at No. 212 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board had Nathaniel Watson higher than the Round 7 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
