Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Cowboys a B.

Some picks age like wine; Zion Logue at pick No. 212 will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Cephus.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 24 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No edge and no loss on Marist Liufau in No. 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at pick 124. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in slot 174, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at the 212th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus is a better player than pick No. 245 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
