Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Cowboys a B-, Suamataia and all.

The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kingsley Suamataia fell into the Round 3 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Powers-Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 24th pick they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice is a better player than pick 56 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Steal is underselling it; Kingsley Suamataia at the 87th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 124 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in slot 174, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
A conviction pick on Marcus Harris at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick245 Rnd7 Carson Steele
No edge and no loss on Carson Steele in No. 245; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
