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

Some picks age like wine; Jayson Jones at the 245th pick will need to, sitting 41 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B.

On value alone, Morgan makes the weekend a net positive. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick 24 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in No. 56, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
No edge and no loss on Cedric Gray in pick No. 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A reach for Trevor Keegan in the 212th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jayson Jones in Round 7, Pick 25, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
