Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys let Jacobs fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Curtis Jacobs tumbling to the Cowboys in the 212th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 24 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in No. 124, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
The board fumbled Jaylen Wright all the way to the 174th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Steal is underselling it; Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Aaron Frost at Round 7, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
