Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Nobody had Jaden Shirden this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 50 spots to get him at slot 245. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Getting Polk where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the 56th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
The board fumbled Ja'Lynn Polk all the way to slot 87, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A tidy bit of business in No. 124, where Dillon Johnson graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A conviction pick on Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Speights at Round 6, Pick 37 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
Jaden Shirden in pick No. 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
