Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Cowboys.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Cowboys never got to the one that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Beebe. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell is a better player than No. 42 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They took Jonathon Brooks at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in pick 87, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at slot 99 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Nothing to complain about; Sataoa Laumea went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Good price on Tommy Eichenberg in the 130th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 174th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick No. 212 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at Round 7, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 245 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A tidy little value on Tatum Bethune in pick 249, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
