Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Magee: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan Magee, the No. 193 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 24th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in slot 87; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A quiet steal in pick 124: Dillon Johnson for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in the 174th pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at Round 7, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
