Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with J.J. Weaver in Round 7, Pick 24. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. On value alone, Lovett makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 23rd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 24th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick 29 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at pick No. 87 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Value said wait; Michael Pratt in slot 88 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at No. 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They jumped the gun on Johnny Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the 132nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Fair-plus on Jalyx Hunt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at Round 5, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A reach for Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 174; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ryan Watts
They reached into another round for Ryan Watts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bub Means
They went early on Bub Means in pick No. 230, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in pick 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. Weaver this early at slot 244. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
