Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Myles Jones got past him. The Cowboys do not have to explain a thing at the 245th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King is a better player than the 56th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at slot 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Nice patience on Edefuan Ulofoshio, who had no business lasting to pick No. 174. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
No drama and no debate, Miles Frazier went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 37. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Myles Jones
They robbed the room for Myles Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
