Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Logan Brown, taking him 77 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 24th pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix is a better player than Round 2, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 36th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at slot 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 56, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 67 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at No. 69 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in pick No. 70. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in slot 71 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in Round 4, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Harrell at pick 174, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A quiet steal in the 212th pick: Jawhar Jordan for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 223rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Mason Fairchild in slot 225 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaiah Neyor at pick No. 226 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick 245 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.
