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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jordan Toles at pick No. 212 is 65 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Nubin at that price is a win they earned. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Nice patience on Tyler Nubin, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 7. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in the 70th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 87 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They reached a country mile for Myles Jones at the 185th pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Toles
Jordan Toles in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at slot 245 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
