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

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Christian Jones, 23 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Beebe.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 24th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 24 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 124 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick 212 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Mark Perry
They took Mark Perry at par in the 245th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
