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

Some picks age like wine; Jaden Shirden at No. 212 will need to, sitting 83 spots clear of his grade. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Guyton at that price is a win they earned. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They barely believed it either: Tyler Guyton still on the board at the 59th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in slot 87, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Taking Khyree Jackson in No. 123 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 38, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaden Shirden
Jaden Shirden at the 212th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Fair-plus on Eric Gentry, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
