Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D+.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Javion Cohen, taking him 49 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Spending an early pick on edge rusher with wide receiver and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 9 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in the 36th overall pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in Round 3, Pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in slot 113 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Justin Eboigbe in the 124th overall pick leaves wide receiver and tight end for later.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at Round 6, Pick 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A conviction pick on Dwight McGlothern at the 245th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
