Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureC-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Cowboys skipped the loudest one: linebacker is exactly as bare as it was. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Zinter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Turner at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in the 21st pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick24 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
A quiet steal in slot 24: Dallas Turner for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They went early on Zak Zinter in pick 87, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the 173rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 213 with a little surplus value in Jawhar Jordan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A conviction pick on Zion Logue at No. 242 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
