Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

Start where it matters. The Cowboys took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

However the rest shakes out, Barton at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 24 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 56, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at No. 87 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A reach for Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Brennan Jackson at Round 5, Pick 37, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick213 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They read the board right and Josh Proctor was the payoff at the 213th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick242 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 242nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
