Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Christian Jones, 23 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They banked enough surplus on Watson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at the 56th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in No. 87, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at the 124th pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Myles Jones. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Blake Watson in pick 245, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
