Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Cowboys: B-.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him 27 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They liked Zak Zinter enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 87. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They went early on Cedric Gray in slot 124, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at the 212th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
